10 Questions
What are the three types of skeletons mentioned in the text?
exoskeleton, endoskeleton, hydroskeleton
What is the main component of vertebrate skeletons?
bones and cartilages
What is cartilage and where is it found?
Cartilage is a rigid connective tissue found in the skeletal systems of both vertebrates and invertebrates.
What are vertebrates and invertebrates in relation to their skeletons?
Vertebrates have an endoskeleton centered around an axial vertebral column, while invertebrates lack a vertebral column and have a variety of skeletal structures.
Give examples of invertebrate skeletal variations mentioned in the text.
Hard-shelled exoskeletons (arthropods and most molluscs), plated internal shells (e.g. cuttlebones in some cephalopods), rods (e.g. ossicles in echinoderms), hydrostatically supported body cavities (most), and spicules (sponges).
Name and describe the three types of skeletons mentioned in the text?
The three types of skeletons mentioned in the text are exoskeleton, endoskeleton, and hydroskeleton. The exoskeleton is a rigid outer shell that holds up an organism's shape. The endoskeleton is a rigid internal frame to which the organs and soft tissues attach. The hydroskeleton is a flexible internal structure supported by the hydrostatic pressure of body fluids.
What are vertebrates and invertebrates?
Vertebrates are animals with an endoskeleton centered around an axial vertebral column. Invertebrates are animals that lack a vertebral column.
What is cartilage and where is it found?
Cartilage is a rigid connective tissue found in the skeletal systems of both vertebrates and invertebrates.
What are some examples of invertebrate skeletal variations?
Examples of invertebrate skeletal variations include hard-shelled exoskeletons (arthropods and most molluscs), plated internal shells (e.g. cuttlebones in some cephalopods) or rods (e.g. ossicles in echinoderms), hydrostatically supported body cavities (most), and spicules (sponges).
What is the structural frame that supports the body of most animals?
A skeleton is the structural frame that supports the body of most animals.
