Question
Chapter 29, Problem 2WIO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The advantages and disadvantages of each of the three types of skeletons while giving examples of an animal for each type.
Introduction:
The structural framework that holds an animal's body upright is its skeleton. Hydrostatic skeletons, exoskeletons, and endoskeletons are the three different forms of skeletons.
