The human skeleton is comprised of the total set of bones that provide the human body a multifunctional structure. The adult human skeletal system contains 206 bones! It also consists of the joints, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments that connect them.
The main functions of the skeletal system are:
Support of the body
Locomotion
Provide protection for internal organs
Act as a site for the production of blood cells and the storage of minerals, particularly calcium
Growth and development
The human skeletal system is divided into two principal subdivisions: the axial and appendicular skeleton.
The axial skeleton forms the central axis of the human body and is composed of 80 bones that include the bones of the skull, the ossicles of the middle ear, the hyoid bone of the throat, the vertebral column, and the thoracic cage. It also provides protection and support for the brain, spinal cord and vital organs, in addition to providing a surface for muscles to attach to.
The appendicular skeleton consists of 126 bones that include both the upper and lower limbs and bones of the shoulders and pelvis.

Explanation:
Other common conditions that affect the skeletal system include:
Osteoporosis: This is a disease in which the bones become fragile and prone to fracture.
Leukemia: This is a cancer of the white blood cells.
Osteopenia, osteitis deformans, and osteomalacia: Similar to osteoporosis, these are other types of bone loss.
