Key Points: Skeletal System

  • The skeletal system consists of bones and cartilage and provides shape and support to the body.
  • It plays an important role in movement, along with the muscular system (e.g., jaw for chewing, limbs for walking).
  • Bones are hard due to calcium salts, while cartilage is flexible due to chondroitin salts.
  • Humans have 206 bones in adulthood, while a newborn has about 300 bones that fuse during growth.
  • The skeletal system is divided into two parts: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.
