The musculoskeletal system:
The muscular and skeletal systems work together to perform a wide range of movements. The respiratory and
cardiovascular systems are also responsible for supplying nutrients and oxygen to the body, which then
produces energy for contraction.
The human skeleton:
The skeleton, which is the internal framework of the body, is composed of around 270 bones. After some bones
are fused together, the total number of bones decreases to around 206 by adulthood. The skeleton's mass
makes up 14% of the body's total weight and reaches its maximum density around age 21.

The skeleton is composed of two main parts: the axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton. The former is the
central core unit, and it contains the vertebrae, ribs, skull, and sternum. On the other hand, the appendicular
skeleton consists of the extremities' bones.
The axial skeleton is a component of the skeleton of a vertebrate, and it consists of the trunk and
head of a creature. In humans, the skeleton is composed of 80 bones. The upper portion is composed
of the skull, the lower portion is made up of the ribs, the vertebral column, the ossicles of the middle
ear, and the ribcage. The other bones in the skeleton are the appendicular skeleton and the vertebrae.
An axial skeleton also includes the ribs, coccyx, sacrum, and skull.
Structure: -
The flat bones of humans are known to house various vital organs, such as the brain. It is composed of
81 bones, and it connects the pelvis to the body. As the skeleton grows older, it starts to weaken,
except for the skull, which helps protect the brain from injury.
The axial skeleton: -
Human Skull: -
The skull is composed of the facial bones and the cranium. The cranium is responsible for protecting
and holding the brain in a large space known as the cranial vault. Eight plates connected by sutures
are the bones that make up the cranium. There are also 14 facial bones that form the lower front
portion of the skull.
The 22 bones that make up the skull form smaller spaces beside the cranial vault, and these include
the cavities for the mouth, nose, eyes, and ear. The most important facial bones are the mandible, the
upper jaw, the cheekbone, and the nasal bone.
When humans were born, they had separate plates that eventually fuse to allow the skull to move
through the birth canal and pelvis. During their development, the eight plates that make up the
immature bones fuse together to form a single structure known as the skull. The only bone that
remains that is not part of the skull is the mandible.
Rib cage: -
The rib cages are made up of 12 pairs of ribs and the sternum, and they function as protection for
various organs, such as the lungs and heart. The ribs are shaped like crescents and have rounded and
flat ends. These are connected to joints at the back and at the front by the sternum.
The seven upper ribs attach to the sternum using costal cartilage, and these are referred to as true
ribs. The eighth to 10th ribs have non-coal cartilage, which connects them to the ribs over. These are
referred to as false ribs. The last two ribs, which are called floating ribs, are not connected to the
sternum and are simply "hang free." The length of each rib increases and decreases until it reaches the
12th rib. The first rib, which is the shortest and most curved, is regarded as the queen of ribs.
