Expert Solution

Step 1

The human body is made up of skeletal and muscular tissue. The skeletal system is composed of bones. The bones along with the tendons and ligaments form the framework for the body structure. They also provide support and protection to the organs of the body. There are 206 bones in the human body. There are long bones and short bones that articulate with each other forming a framework for the body structure. The muscles are inserted at the insertion point of the bone and arise from the origin part of the bone.
