Wikipedia
The skeleton (gr. skeletos = "dried-body", "mummy"), is in biology and in the anatomy the body part that forms the supporting structure of an organism. There are two different skeletal types: the exoskeleton, which is the stable outer shell of an organism, and the endoskeleton, which forms the support structure inside the body.
