The internal skeleton is referred to as an "endoskeleton." This structural framework is composed of bones or cartilage and provides support, protection for internal organs, and facilitates movement in vertebrates. Endoskeletons enable growth and adaptation, allowing organisms to achieve larger sizes compared to those with external skeletons, or exoskeletons.

What is the scientific name for a internal skeleton?

We sometimes use the term endoskeleton, but it isn't usually used unless we are talking about organisms that may or may not have one. We never use the term in the study of humans and other vertebrates. The other term is exoskeleton, and it is used for organisms that have one on the outside of the body.

What does the term skeleton mean in Greek?

1578, from Mod.L. sceleton "bones, bony framework of the body," from Gk. skeleton soma "dried-up body, mummy," from neut. of skeletos "dried-up," from skellein "dry up," from PIE base *skele- "to parch, whither" (cf. Gk. skleros "hard"). The Gk. word was borrowed in L.L. (sceletus), hence Fr. squelette, Sp. esqueleto, It. scheletro. The meaning "bare outline" is first recorded 1607; hence skeleton crew (1778), skeleton key, etc. Phrase skeleton in the closet "source of secret shame to a person or family" popularized 1845 by Thackeray, though he likely didn't coin it.
