Expert Solution
Step 1

Skeletal system is one of the important organ systems of the body. It provides a structural and integral support for the body. Muscles of the body are attached to the bones, hence these are together called musculoskeletal system. Skeletal system not only provides structural support to the body, it also provides a site for the production of blood cells and protects the internal organs from any mechanical injuries. In the new born, there are 270 bones, most of them fuse over time to form 206. Male and female skeletal system varies in the bone masses. Male skeletal system is often longer and higher in mass, while the female skeletal system is shorter and has broader pelvis to bear child birth and pregnancy.
