Skeletal system

The function of the skeletal system is to provide support, mobility, and stability to our human body.

Connective tissues help stabilize and connect bones and skeletal muscles, examples are tendons, cartilage, and ligaments.

within the skeletal system, bones and muscles work together to allow control over posture and mobility.

Other functions are storing and releasing minerals and fats, protecting internal organs and manufactures our red blood cells.

Axil and Appendicular skeleton:

Our skeletal system are separated in two parts. The Axil and Appendicular skeleton.

The axil skeleton forms the long axis of the body and it is designed to protect, store and support the head, neck, and chest areas.

These bones serve to protect vital organs such as the brain, lungs, heart and spinal cord.

Axil skeleton is also responsible for bending, twisting, and nodding movements.

Some examples of the bones in the axil system are the skull, mandible, ribs, vertebral column, and the sacrum.

The appendicular skeleton of all the bones and connective tissue of the upper and lower limbs.

The appedndicular serves as a platform for attachment of limbs to the axil skeleton and assist the body movement.

Its function is to act as a framework for the movement of limbs and to store and manufacture blood cells.

Examples are the Tibia, Clavicle, Scapula, Humerus, Ulna, Radious, Carpals, coxa, femur.
