Crayfish have an exoskeleton, meaning that their support structure is found on the outside of their body. The skeleton is composed of one large body covering that is scleritized (hardened) in some places and left unslceritized (flexible) in others to allow for movement at joints. Humans have an endoskeleton, meaning that their support structure is found internally. The skeleton is made of hard bones that are held together at the joints by ligaments and muscles.

What is an external skeleton and an internal skeleton?

Skeletons:All animals, including humans have skeletons. Humans have an internal skeleton. This means that our bones is on the inside of us. When an animal has an external skeleton it means that their skeleton is on the outside. These animals who have an external skeleton have what we commonly call shells. These shells are their skeleton which keeps their insides together.
