GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The human skeleton is an endoskeleton that consists of 206 bones in the adult. It has five main functions: providing support to the body, storing minerals and lipids, producing blood cells, protecting internal organs, and allowing for movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -The skeletal system is your body’s central framework. It consists of bones and connective tissue, including cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. It’s also called the musculoskeletal system.

Detailed explanation-3: -The bones in our body form a framework to give a shape and structure to our body. This framework is called skeleton. Skeleton serves six major functions; support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals and endocrine regulation.

Detailed explanation-4: -An endoskeleton is an internal skeleton composed of hard, mineralized tissue that also enables movement by attachment to muscles. The human skeleton is an endoskeleton that is composed of the axial and appendicular skeleton.

Detailed explanation-5: -During early embryonic development the endoskeleton is composed of notochord and cartilage. The notochord in most vertebrates is replaced by the vertebral column and cartilage is replaced by bone in most adults.
