What to Focus On

  • Support and shape are basic functions of the skeleton.
  • The skull, vertebral column, and ribs protect important organs.
  • Muscles attached to bones help in movement.
  • Skeleton includes bones, cartilages, and ligaments.
  • Cartilage gives support and shape but is flexible.
  • Ligaments connect bones to each other.
  • Bone contains organic and inorganic parts.
  • The inorganic part is mainly calcium and phosphorus compounds.
  • Decalcified bone becomes soft and flexible.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The axial skeleton includes the shoulder girdle and hip girdle.

The human skeleton has only 206 bones in every bone-count table, so any other total must be wrong.

The patella is just a regular long bone like the femur or tibia.
