Endoskeleton three phyla and one subclass of animals, endoskeletons of various complexity are found: Chordata, Echinodermata, Porifera, and Coleoidea. An endoskeleton may function purely for support (as in the case of sponges), but often serves as an attachment site for muscle and a mechanism for transmitting muscular forces. A true endoskeleton is derived from mesodermal tissue. Such a skeleton is present in echinoderms and chordates. The poriferan 'skeleton' consists of microscopic calcareous or siliceous spicules or a spongin network. The Coleoidae do not have a true endoskeleton in the evolutionary sense; there, a mollusk exoskeleton evolved into several sorts of internal
Lattice of subgroups or "(Dedekind's) modular law" (, ). Since for two normal subgroups the product is actually the smallest subgroup containing the two, the normal subgroups form a modular lattice. The Lattice theorem establishes a Galois connection between the lattice of subgroups of a group and that of its quotients. The Zassenhaus lemma gives an isomorphism between certain combinations of quotients and products in the lattice of subgroups. In general, there is no restriction on the shape of the lattice of subgroups, in the sense that every lattice is isomorphic to a sublattice of the subgroup lattice of some group. Furthermore, every
