The human skeleton
it is the internal framework of the human body.
It is composed of around 270 bones at birth – this total decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones get fused together.
The bone mass in the skeleton makes up about 14% of the total body weight (ca. 10–11 kg for an average person) and reaches maximum density around age 21.
The human skeleton can be divided into the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.
The axial skeleton is formed by the vertebral column, the rib cage, the skull and other associated bones.
The appendicular skeleton, which is attached to the axial skeleton, is formed by the shoulder girdle, the pelvic girdle and the bones of the upper and lower limbs.

Functions of skeleton
The skeleton serves six major functions: support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals and endocrine regulation.
