what type of skeleton do vertebrates such as humans have?
Skeletons come in a number of forms, each suited for a particular set of lifestyles and environments. Skeletons can be rigid, semirigid, or soft. They can also be external or internal. Vertebrates have internal skeletons, called bony skeletons, which consist mainly of calcified bone tissue. Most invertebrates, such as insects, spiders, and crustaceans, have outer skeletons called exoskeletons.
