Skeletal System

Did you know that newborn babies have around 305 bones! A baby’s skeleton is mostly made up of cartilage. As it grows older cartilage undergoes ossification to form a complete skeletal system, having 206 bones. Let us learn about a human skeletal system.

Parts of the Skeletal System



(Source: Britannica)

The skeletal system is made up of bones and cartilage. There are two types of connective tissues called tendons and ligaments that are also considered a part of the system. Ligaments connect bones to bones whereas tendons connect bones to muscles.

The two main parts of the skeletal system, as mentioned above, are bones and cartilage.

Bones

There are 206 bones in the body which form more than 200 joints with each other. They are classified into two broad categories based on location:

Axial skeleton: These bones are found towards the midline of the body and include the skull, the rib cage, and the vertebral column.

The appendicular skeleton: These bones are found in the appendages such as arms, legs fingers, and toes.
