The structure that the different bones of the body together form is called the skeletal system. Human body has 206 bones.

which are arranged in different parts of the body. The skeletal system is divided into six parts. namely-

1) Skull

2) Neck

3) Upper Limb

4) Lower Limb

5) Thorax

6) Vertebrae & Pelvis

Skull

The skull is made up of 8 bones. Some of these 8 are flat bones that protect the brain. The face and jaw are made up of seven bones. Each person's appearance is different according to the irregular structure of the face becomes

Vertebral Column

The spine is made up of small uneven bones. These bones are called vertebrae. Vertebrae are stacked on top of each other and connected by tough ligaments and tendons. Protects the spinal cord and keeps the surface straight. As a result of arranging the vertebrae one on top of the other, a tube is formed inside them. The spinal cord descends from the brain through this tube- like path.

Shoulder, Arm, Forearm and Hand

Shoulder (Shoulder) consists of scapula (Scapula) and clavicle (Clavicle). The scapula is located behind the ribs. The clavicle extends outward from the edge of the sternum to meet the scapula near the shoulder. The arm has two parts. The upper arm has a long bone called the humerus. The humerus extends from the shoulder to the elbow. The lower arm has Radius and Ulna. The two lower bones extend from the elbow to the hip. These two bones form the forearm. At the lower end of the radius we feel the radial pulse.

Wrist

There are eight carpal bones in the wrist. Attached to the carpals are the metacarpal (carpal) bones that form the hand. Fingers are formed by connecting multiple phalanges with the metacarpal bone. There are two phalanges in thumb and three phalanges in other fingers.

Ribs and Sternum

Ribs are 12 pairs of narrow curved bones of the chest. There are 12 ridges attached to each side of the spine at the back. Anteriorly the upper ten ribs are attached to each side of the sternum by means of costal cartilage. The lower two ribs float forward on either side condition

Pelvis, Leg and Foot

Pelvis is a round bone in the lower part of the body that carries the weight of the spine and rests on the legs. Two hip bones (Hip Bone) at the back with the Sacrum (Sacrum) and at the front at the Symphysis Pubis (Symphysis Pubis) are formed to form the Pelvis.

Patella

The patella is a small bone that forms the front of the knee joint. It protects the knee joint. Ankle is formed by seven tarsal bones. Attached to the tarsal bones are the metatarsal bones, which form the sole of the foot. The big toes are formed by two phalanges. The remaining four toes are formed by three phalanges.
