The skeletal system is the system of bones, ligaments, and tendons that makes up the human body. The teeth are also known as part of the skeletal system.

The skeletal system helps the human body in three main ways: support, as the skeleton keeps the body upright and prevents it collapsing on the floor; protection, as the bones guard our internal organs from the slings and arrows of the outside world; and movement, because the skeleton provides the structure for muscles to attach to our bodies to enable movement.
