| Lect. 11: 3 basic types of skeletal systems in the animal kingdom: | 1. Hydrostatic 2. Exoskeleton 3. Endoskeleton |
| Lect. 11: Hydrostatic skeleton (Earthworms) | -Earthworms and sea anemones have a hydrostatic skeleton. -Circular muscles squeeze the body. -Longitudinal muscles shorten the body. |
| Lect. 11: Exoskeleton Arthropods: (insects, spiders, etc) | -Arthropods (insects, spiders, etc) have an external skeleton made of chitin (a carbohydrate). -Muscles attach to the exoskeleton, which is flexible at the joints. |
| Lect. 11: Endoskeleton (Skeletal System) | -Vertebrates have an endoskeleton made of cartilage or bone. -Bone and cartilage are living tissue (connective tissue). - |
| Lect. 11: How do these actions produce motion in the earthworm? | Earthworms using circular and longitudinal muscles, as well as bristles called setae. |
| Lect. 11: What are some advantages an exoskeleton? | Advantages- it protects its internal organs, protects it from predators, keeps the animal from drying out, and attaches to the animal's muscles to aid in movement |
| Lect. 11: What are some disadvantages an exoskeleton? | Disadvantages- is that the process of molting leaves the animal vulnerable for some time after. |
| Lect. 11: What are some advantages of an endoskeleton? | Advantages- allow for faster movement than exoskeletons but the muscles are less flexible than an animal with a hydrostatic skeleton |
| Lect. 11: What are some disadvantages of an endoskeleton? | Disadvantages- does not provide the same level of protection to the body as an exoskeleton does. |
| Lect. 11: What are some differences between an exoskeleton vs endoskeleton? | A. Provides external protection B. Must be shed for growth. C. Becomes heavy if it is too large. D. Storage of minerals. |
