| | Skeleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | If the structures are mineralized or ossified, as they are in humans and other mammals, they are referred to as bones. | | | Located internally in cnidarians (coral, jellyfish, etc.) and annelids (leeches), among others, these animals can move by contracting the muscles surrounding the fluid-filled pouch, creating pressure within the pouch that causes movement. | | | In biology, the skeleton or skeletal system is the biological system providing physical support in living organisms. |

| | An Overview |
| | The skeleton plays an important part in movement by providing a series of independently movable levers, which the muscles can pull to move different parts of the body. | | | Babies are born with 270 soft bones - about 64 more than an adult; and many of these will fuse together by the age of twenty or twenty-five into the 206 hard, permanent bones. | | | The average human adult skeleton has 206 bones joined to ligaments and tendons to form a protective and supportive framework for the attached muscles and the soft tissues which underlie it. |
