Arthropods have an exoskeleton made of chitin, which provides structural support and protection while allowing for mobility through jointed appendages. In contrast, humans possess an endoskeleton made of bone, which is internal and supports the body while allowing for growth and healing. The exoskeleton of arthropods must be periodically molted to accommodate growth, whereas the human skeleton grows continuously with the body. Additionally, arthropods rely on muscles attached to the exoskeleton for movement, while humans have muscles attached to bones.

How are in six different from other arthropods?

Assuming this question is how are insects different from other arthropods, insects fall into hexapods which includes insects, springtails and a few other groups of arthropods with six legs. Insects are different from other hexapods in that they possess a structure called a tentorium which is an internal support skeleton in the head made by extensions of the exoskeleton into the head.
