Section outline

  • Bone is comprised of different cell types osteocyte, osteoblast, osteogenic cell, and osteoclast.

    The skeletal system is the foundational system providing the framework of the body. It gives support and structure and is a central component for framing the human body. The skeletal system works in conjunction with other systems, such as the muscular system, to drive the movements in the body. Identifying anatomical locations of the skeletal system is a vital part of understanding human anatomy and physiology.
