A skeleton is the hard structure that protects the internal organs of a living thing. Skeletons can be inside the body or outside the body. All the bones, when they are joined together, make the "skeletal system" of a body.

The skeletal system includes all of the bones and joints in the body. Each bone is a complex living organ that is made up of many cells, protein fibers, and minerals. The skeleton acts as a scaffold by providing support and protection for the soft tissues that make up the rest of the body.

How many bones in skeleton system.

The human skeleton is the internal framework of the human body. It is composed of around 270 bones at birth-this total decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones get fused together.
