Summary Introduction
To determine:
The different functions of the exoskeleton.
Introduction:
Arthropods have a unique and jointed exoskeleton. The exoskeleton consists of a thin, outer protein layer called epicuticle, and the thick inner chitin-protein layer called the procuticle. It is a key feature of arthropods such as insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
