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.
The skeletal system includes all of the bones and joints in the body. Each bone is a complex living organ that is made up of many cells, protein fibers, and minerals. The skeleton acts as a scaffold by providing support and protection for the soft tissues that make up the rest of the body. The skeletal system also provides attachment points for muscles to allow movements at the joints. New blood cells are produced by the red bone marrow inside of our bones.
