Invert Skeletal Systems
Types of Skeletal Systems Changes in movement occur because muscles pull/push against a support structure, called the skeletal system >Endoskeletons >Exoskeletons >Hydrostatic skeletons
Endoskeleton
Invert w/Endoskeletons (?) -Echinoderms have calcite skeletons, that have calcium carbonate
Exoskeleton [Will cover in detail much later]
Exoskeleton (nice ride!)

Chaetae get lifted in regions of circular muscle contraction. Hydrostatic Skeletons Chaetae get lifted in regions of circular muscle contraction. During longitudinal muscles contraction, chaetae anchor into the ground
Hydrostatic Skeletons
Longitudinal muscle contractions allow for: Bending Undulating Shortening / retraction of posterior end Peristalsis Coordinated / alternating contractions of circular and longitudinal muscles Useful for forward propulsion and burrowing
