Human Skeletal System

About Course
The human skeletal system is the framework of bones and cartilage that supports and protects the body’s organs, provides structure, and allows for movement. It serves as a foundational component of the body, playing critical roles in not only supporting the body but also in facilitating movement, producing blood cells, and storing essential minerals.
The skeletal system is composed of 206 bones in adults and can be divided into two major sections:
-
Axial Skeleton: This part includes the bones that form the long axis of the body, such as the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage. It serves to protect the brain, spinal cord, and vital organs like the heart and lungs.Appendicular Skeleton: This consists of the bones of the limbs and the girdles (shoulder girdle and pelvic girdle) that attach the limbs to the axial skeleton. It facilitates movement and provides a range of motion for activities like walking, lifting, and more.
