    The skeletal system serves as the framework of the body and has major functions of body support, facilitation of movement, and protection of internal organs. It is mainly composed of bones classified into the axial skeleton including the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum, and the appendicular skeleton including shoulder, arm, hand, hip, leg, and foot bones. The skeletal system has important functions of support, protection, and allowing movement by providing attachment for muscles.

    The human body is
    made up of different
    kinds of bones. These
    bones are called
    skeleton. The human
    skeleton is the internal
    framework of the body.
    The skeletal system
    serves as the framework
    of the body.
    Its major functions are:

    1.body support
    2.facilitation of movement
    3.protection of internal
    organs
    The skeletal system is mainly composed of bones which
    are
    classified into two divisions, the axial and the appendicular
    skeleton.
    The axial skeleton
    includes the skull,
    vertebral column, ribs, and
    sternum. These bones form
    the axes or framework of
    the trunk and head.

    The appendicular skeleton


    includes the bones of the
    shoulder, arms, hands,
    hips, legs, and feet.
    The human skeletal system has several important
    functions.
    1. Support -The skeletal system provides the
    framework which supports and maintains
    shape of the body. It gives the body much
    needed support.
    2. Protection -The skeletal system protects
    the internal organ of the body.
    3. Movement- The skeletal system provides
    an
    attachment for the muscle which makes
    body
    movements possible.
    There are 3 kinds of
    muscles
    Smooth Muscles

    •Smooth muscles are called involuntary


    muscles (cannot be controlled
    consciously).

    •Present in the walls of the digestive tract


    like esophagus, stomach, and intestine.
    Cardiac Muscle
    • Involuntary muscles present only in the heart.

    • Allows the heart muscle to contract rhythmically.

    • Your heart beat at the rate of 70 times per minute


    or more than 100,000 times a day.
    Skeletal Muscles

    •Voluntary muscles that are consciously


    controlled to move bones.

    •Make up the large part of the arm, legs,


    chest, and abdomen.
    JOINTS - It is a place where two bones meet.
    BONE - It is a hard structure that protect the
    body’s internal organ.
    LIGAMENT - Connective tissues that can be
    stretched, hold the joints and connect bones.

    CARTILAGE - It is more flexible material than


    bone. It serves as a protective layer where
    bones come together.
    TENDON - These are bands of connective
    tissues that connect muscles to bone, or
