The skeletal system is composed of bone and cartilage and has many functions. Identify three (4) of these functions and discuss what features of the skeletal system allow it to accomplish these functions.
For this installment of your discussions please give us two main differences or elaborate on any you can think of between the two divisions of the skeletal system; from the most apparent to how these bones develop. Make your comments brief and succinct. If it seems as though the contributions are sounding similar or the same include a trivia like or little known fact about any one bone in the skeletal system. I will give you an example:
The axial contains all bones within the medial aspect of the body. The appendicular incorporates the bones of the pectoral, pelvic girdles and extremities.
The capitate is the largest bone of the carpal bones.
Skeletal system is composed of axial and appendicular skeletons which have many
functions. Describe the features of the skeletons that allow it to accomplish those
functions.
