Question
Chapter 43.2, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The functions of bones of the vertebrate endoskeleton.
Introduction:
There are three types of skeletal system: exoskeleton, which forms the outer shell in tortoise, Endoskeleton, which lies beneath the exoskeleton in echinoderms, and the hydrostatic skeleton, which is found in the coelom of echinoderms.
