The skeleton is usually divided into two major parts:

1) The axial skeleton, consisting of a) the skulland b) the spinal column and ribs

2) The appendicular skeleton consisting of a) the pectoral (shoulder) girdle and the arms, and b) the pelvic (hip) girdle and the legs.

How many organ systems are there in a human body?

There are 11. The immune, integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. But there are only 8 major organ systems in the body. They are: the skeletal, muscular, nervous, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, reproductive, and urinary systems.


What are the major organs to the skeletal system?

The major organs of the skeletal system are bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Bones provide structure and support to the body, protect internal organs, and assist in movement. Cartilage cushions joints and helps maintain their flexibility, while tendons connect muscles to bones and ligaments connect bones to bones.


What organ is not protected by the skeletal system?

The skin is thelargest organ and is outside of and therefore not protected by the skeletal system.


What is the major organ in the muscular system responsible for generating movement and providing support to the body?
