The Skeleton The skeletal system, or skeleton, is composed of bones, cartilages, joints, ligaments Mostly bone Cartilage occurs in isolated areas Ligaments connect bones and reinforce joints The skeleton accounts for 20% of body mass Two major divisions Axial skeleton Appendicular skeleton © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

Part 1: The Axial Skeleton Axial skeleton consists of 80 bones divided into three major regions: Skull Vertebral column Thoracic cage Axial skeleton has three functions: Form longitudinal axis of body Support head, neck, and trunk Protect brain, spinal cord, and thoracic organs © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
