The 62 pages that link to Exoskeleton, each with the reason it gives.

• CarapaceCompared with: A turtle’s carapace is part of its internal skeleton, not an external exoskeleton.

• OsteodermsCompared with: Osteoderms lie within the skin rather than forming a wholly external skeleton.

• Hydrostatic skeletonCompared with: An exoskeleton bears forces through a hard outer layer rather than pressurized fluid.

• Axial skeletonCompared with: Unlike an external skeleton, the axial framework lies inside the body.

• Postcranial skeletonCompared with: It contrasts with the internal position of vertebrate postcranial bones.

• Human skeletonCompared with: Unlike the human skeleton, an exoskeleton surrounds the body and must be shed for growth.

• Muscular systemCompared with: It contrasts with the internal skeleton that vertebrate muscles pull against.

• Skeleton (anatomy)Compared with: Unlike an internal skeleton, it surrounds the body and is shed during growth in many arthropods.

• Integumentary systemCompared with: It provides structural support outside the body, unlike the flexible, living integument of vertebrates.

• Human musculoskeletal systemCompared with: It places the main supportive framework outside the body rather than inside it.
