Document Summary

Lectures on the general principles of anatomical systems. Axial skeleton 9skull, vertebral column, ribs and sternum) Forms the axis and since we are bilateral symmetric we have an axis which is made up of the skull, vertebral columns ribs and sternum. Attached are our appendages which forms the appendicular skeleton which is essentially the limbs and the girdles that hold the limbs with the axial skeleton. Appendicular skeleton the upper limb which meets with the scapula and the clavicle which forms the pectorial girdle which meets up with the sternum. Lower limb meets with the pelvis and then connects the lower limb with the axial skeleton. Some cartilage is present in bone and stays all through life. Works as a leaver to doing movements. Very important because blood formation occurs in the bone marrow which. Provides support for the body and the muscles. Forms the skeleton that supports the body resides in the bone.
