| exoskeleton |
The hardened outer body layer of insects and other arthropods that functions both as a protective covering and as a skeletal attachment for muscles. For grit, Purple Martins feed their nestlings broken glass, metal fragments, quartz, sand, eggshell, and oystershell. This grit enables the nestling's gizzard to pulverize the armor-like exoskeletons of the beetles and other hard-bodied insects they are fed.

| exoskeleton |
a hard body covering found on the outside of many invertebrates. The term is most often applied to the body covering on arthropods. This is made of a protein compound which is secreted by a layer of cells underneath it. Because it is not stretchy, the creature has to moult regularly to accommodate growth.
