  1. Types of skeleton
    1. Internal Skeleton
      1. provides framework and shape
        1. grows with the body
          1. attaches to muscles easily
            1. has joints for flexibility
              1. Humans
                1. made from bone and cartilage
                2. Sharks
                  1. made only of cartilage
                3. External Skeleton

                    1. inflexible
                      1. made from chitin
