| The form of living beings corresponds to their way of life and habitat – land, thing, soil. To keep in shape are:
* fluid skeleton – compression of the cavity fluid by contraction of muscle fibers. These are soft-bodied animals – worms, jellyfish, sea anemones.
* external skeleton – chitinous cover – insects, shells of molluscs, crustaceans
* internal skeleton – all vertebrates – fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals.
