Quote from Wikipedia:
"Cardiac skeleton (sometimes called "fibrous skeleton of the heart") refers to the structure of dense connective tissue in the heart that separates the atria from the ventricles. It is not a "true" skeleton, but it does provide structure and support for the heart, as well as isolating the electric charges that go through the heart by slowing them down enough to allow the atriums to contract before the ventricles so that the heart is much more efficient. It also allows the valves (bicuspid, tricuspid, semilunar) to keep open by giving them structural support."
I do wonder why you didn't Google it though...
What else can I help you with?
Skull rib cage and backbone make up this skeleton?
The skeleton you are referring to is the axial skeleton. It includes the skull, rib cage, and vertebral column (backbone), which provides structural support and protects vital organs such as the brain and heart.
Which of the following structures are protected by bones in the axial skeleton?
The brain, spinal cord, and organs within the thoracic cavity, such as the heart and lungs, are protected by bones in the axial skeleton.
Aside from supporting movement what important functions might the axis skeleton have?
The axial skeleton provides protection for vital organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs. Additionally, it serves as an attachment point for muscles that help with posture and support the body's weight. The skull in particular protects the brain, while the ribcage protects the heart and lungs.
What is the general function of the axial skeleton?
The axial skeleton provides support and protection for the body's vital organs such as the brain, spinal cord, and heart. It also serves as an attachment point for muscles, facilitates movement, and helps maintain posture.

How would you describe the function of the skeleton?
The skeleton is used in movement, becuse when we move, it is muscles pulling on bones. The skeleton protects. The heart and lungs are inside the ribcage, and the brain and eyes are inside the skull. The skeleton gives us the shape we have and holds things together. The skeleton is used to produce red blood cells, because their production takes place inside the bones.
Is the skeleton of the heart made of cartilage?
No, the skeleton of the heart is not made of cartilage; it is primarily composed of fibrous connective tissue. This structure, known as the cardiac skeleton or fibrous skeleton of the heart, provides support and helps maintain the heart's shape while also serving as an anchor for the heart valves and the myocardium. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in the electrical conduction system of the heart.
What is an inside skeleton call?
An inside skeleton is called an "endoskeleton" in contrast to the term "exoskeleton" which is used to describe a "skeleton" that is on the outside.
Why didn't the skeleton go to?
his heart wasn't in him!
The sternum is what to the heart?
The sternum is part of the chest skeleton system, it has nothing to do with the heart.
Which part of the skeleton protects the heart and lungs?
no i cant answer
How would you describe the role of the skeleton in body movement?
eyes
How are the heart and the lungs protected?
The heart and lungs are with in the chest, protected by the skeleton's rib cage.
What are adjective to describe skeleton?
Adjectives to describe a skeleton include "bony," "rigid," "fragile," "structural," "intricate," and "macabre." These terms highlight the skeleton's physical characteristics, its role in forming the body structure, and its often eerie connotations. Additionally, "fossilized" can describe ancient skeletons, while "articulated" refers to the arrangement of bones in a skeletal structure.
Describe how are skeleton and muscles are attached?
