Question
Chapter 43.2, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The supportive function the hydrostatic skeleton, exoskeleton, and endoskeleton provide to the body and providing one example of each of these types in echinoderms and vertebrates.
Introduction:
The skeletal system of vertebrates is made up of specialized tissues called connective tissue. It includes bones, tendons, cartilage, ligaments, and adipose tissue. It provides support and protection to internal organs, movement of body parts, and maintains body position and posture.
