Hydrostatic skeleton
Fluid-filled compartments
Coelom
No joints
Antagonistic circular and longitudinal muscles
Examples: Worms and cephalopods
Circular muscles
Span the diameter
When they contract:
The segment elongates
The diameter decreases
Longitudinal muscles
Span the length of the organism
When they contract
The segment shrinks
The diameter increases
Antagonistic muscles
When one contracts, the other relaxes
External skeleton (exoskeleton)
Hard encasement covering the outer surface
Flexible membranes at joints
Antagonist muscles span joints and attach to stiff exoskeletons
Example: Arthropods
Internal skeleton (endoskeleton)
Hard mineralized structures within soft tissues
Flexible joints held by ligaments
Antagonistic muscles span joints and attach to hard structures
Example: Chordates
