why do you think hydrostatic skeleton is eventually lost in animals with exoskeleton and endoskeleton? give 2 examples with scientific explanation
Exoskeletonsa. are typical of vertebrates.b. are hydrostatic.c. must be shed periodically.d. are moved by muscles attached to the outside of joints.
Compare the bat to the bird. Where is the bat's ulna? Are there any remnants of it? How is the bat's wing membrane supported by its skeleton? Be precise. Does a bird's wing work in the same way? How many metacarpals and digits ("fingers") does it have? (This is all just one question on comparing the bat to the bird)
