Exoskeleton

An exoskeleton is an external protective structure that is found in a variety of animals, from insects to larger invertebrates like crabs and lobsters. It provides support and protection for the body, and is composed of chitin and proteins. Exoskeletons can also be found in some animals such as the Leatherback Turtle, which uses its exoskeleton to protect against predators. Exoskeletons have many uses in the modern world, from providing assistance for medical patients who are unable to move on their own, to helping athletes improve their performance and endurance. They also have applications in robotics and prosthetics, as well as providing protection and support for workers working in hazardous environments. Exoskeletons are versatile and important tools for both human and animal health and safety.
