Skeletal System

The skeletal system is the body's internal framework, consisting of 206 bones in adults, which supports, shapes, protects vital organs, and aids in movement. It is divided into the axial skeleton, which protects organs, and the appendicular skeleton, which supports movement. Joints, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons play crucial roles in facilitating movement and connecting bones and muscles.

Axial
Skeleton

It includes the skull, vertebral column,
ribs, and sternum.

Appendicular
Skeleton
Provides support and aids in movement.

It includes the bones of the shoulder (collarbones,


shoulder blades and scapula), arms (humerus),
hands (carpal bones), hips (hipbone), legs (femur),
and feet (tarsal bones).
Joints
These are formed between two
bones. It is a point where two
or more bones meet.
