The skeleton is the bony framework of the body. It consists of 208 bones of various size and shapes. The skeleton gives support to soft tissues. It protects delicate structures such as the brain, the heart and the lungs. The joints, cartilages and ligaments between the bones determine the degree and the quality of the motion. The bones forming the skeleton are divided into the bones of the head, the bones of the trunk, and the bones of the upper and lower extremities.

26 bones of the head form the skull which protects the brain. The bones of the trunk are the spinal column (spine) and the thorax. The thorax includes 12 pairs of ribs and the breastbone. In the spine there are 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumber, 5 sacral vertebrae and the coccyx.

The arms join the body at the shoulder. The shoulder is formed of two bones – the collar-bone (clavicle) in front and the shoulder-blade (scapula) behind. The bones of the upper extremity are humerus, ulna and radius. The bones of the lower extremity are femur, tibia and fibula.

The skeleton gives the upright strength to the body. The bones serve as a storehouse for calcium and phosphorus.
