Expert Solution
Step 1

The human skeleton is the inner system of the human body. It is made out of around 270 bones upon entering the world – this absolute abatement to around 206 bones by adulthood after certain bones get melded. The bone mass in the skeleton arrives at most extreme thickness around age 21. The human skeleton can be isolated into the axial skeleton and the affixed skeleton. The axial skeleton is shaped by the vertebral segment, the rib confine, the skull and other related bones. The affixed skeleton, which is appended to the axial skeleton, is shaped by the shoulder support, the pelvic support and the bones of the upper and lower appendages.
