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 adult human skeletal system consists of 206 bones, as well as a network of tendons, ligaments and cartilage that connects them. The skeletal system performs vital functions â support, movement, protection, blood cell production, calcium storage and endocrine regulation â that enable us to survive.he skeletal system is also susceptible to breaks, strains and fractures. While bones are meant to protect the bodyâs vital organs, it takes about 10 to 16 pounds of pressure to break an average bone.
