The human skeleton is the internal framework for the human body. It consists of many individual bones and cartilages, as well as bands of fibrous connective tissue—the ligaments and the tendons—which serve in intimate relationship with the parts of the skeleton.
Human skeleton anatomy describes the bones inside our body that give us shape and support. The skeleton helps us stand, sit, walk, and move. It also protects important organs like the brain, heart, and lungs. At birth, a human baby has about 270 bones. As we grow, some bones join together.
The skeleton is traditionally divided into two major parts: the axial skeleton (which includes the skull, spine, and rib cage) and the appendicular skeleton (which includes the appendages and the girdles that attach them to the axial skeleton).
The skeletal system comprises 206 bones and has two main parts: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The skeletal system includes your bones, ligaments that attach bone to bone, and cartilage that provides padding between your bones.
