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...

∙ 11y agoThe heart has no skeleton, but if you meant the structure, it has muscular walls with thicker walls surrounding the ventricles and blood vessels emptying into the atria and blood vessels exiting from the ventricles. The heart is sort of symmetrical. The aorta leads to the arteries supplying the body.
The term proximal is used to describe where the appendage joins the body. So in humans this would be the femur and the humerus.
Seriously? Bones are our framework. Without them, we couldn't do even the simplest of tasks and important organs like the heart and lungs, which are usually guarded by the rib cage, would be vulnerable.Bones hold us up. They keep us together. Question answered.
A mutant skeleton is a malformed skeleton.
The appendicular skeleton is attached to the axial skeleton.
A hydrostatic skeleton is a type of skeleton many animals in the animal kingdom have.
It is called a skeleton for a reason. As it helps to maintain the heart's shape when it relaxes.
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.
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.
his heart wasn't in him!
The sternum is part of the chest skeleton system, it has nothing to do with the heart.
eyes
no i cant answer
The heart and lungs are with in the chest, protected by the skeleton's rib cage.
Muscles and bones are attached by tendons.
A leaf looks like skeleton bones
A vertebrate is an animal that has an internal skeleton and a spine (backbone).
axial is made up you mom
