Features of the structure of the human skeleton.

The human skeletal system is the internal skeleton that serves as the basis for the body. This structure is made up of many individual bones and cartilage. There are also bands of fibrous connective tissue – ligaments and tendons – in close connection with parts of the skeleton. The human skeleton, like other vertebrates, consists of two main divisions, each of which is different from the others, and each of them represents certain individual characteristics. It is axial, which includes the vertebral column, spine and most of the skull, and appendicular, which includes the pelvic thighs and thoracic (shoulder) girdles, as well as the bones and cartilage of the limb.
