The average adult human skeleton has around 206 bones. These bones meet at joints, the most of which are freely movable. The skeleton also contains cartilage for elasticity. Ligaments are strong strips of fibrous connective tissue (sinew) that hold bones together at joints, thereby stabilizing the skeleton during movement. These differ from tendons, which connect muscle to bone. (Ligaments = bone + bone; tendons = muscle + bone) Fused bones include those of the pelvis and the cranium.

  • The average adult human skeleton has around 206 bones. These bones meet at joints, the most of which are freely movable. The skeleton also contains cartilage for elasticity. Ligaments are strong strips of fibrous connective tissue (sinew) that hold bones together at joints, thereby stabilizing the skeleton during movement. These differ from tendons, which connect muscle to bone. (Ligaments = bone + bone; tendons = muscle + bone) Fused bones include those of the pelvis and the cranium. The human skeleton can be broken up into two separate categories: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton is composed of the skull, vertebrae, and thoracic cage (ribs and sternum). The appendicular skeleton consists of the girdles (pelvic girdle and the pectoral girdle) and the skeleton of the limbs.
