Just wondering if anyone has more info on spider endoskeletons. All I've found is that it's made out of cartilage.
Spider skeleton.

They're mostly sets sites for the attachment of muscles, and like the exoskeleton are part of the body wall, though the exoskeleton is an infolding of it. The cephalothorax has a piece that seems to do something different, and the abdomen has a piece that used to attach to muscles (I bet it still does in earlier arachnids, especially scorpions).
