It is a complex structure with two distinct divisions. These are the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. Function: The Skeletal System serves as a framework for tissues and organs to attach themselves to. This system acts as a protective structure for vital organs.
Other components of the skeletal system include connecting ligaments, tendons, and joints. Most vital organs are located in the chest, so parts of the skeletal system located in this area are designed primarily for protection. The ribcage bones enclose organs ranging from the heart to the lungs.
