Question
Chapter 29.1, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The similarities and differences among the three main types of skeletons.
Concept introduction:
Skeletal system is an organ system that is made up of bones, tendons and ligaments. There are 206 bones in an adult human body. At the time of infancy these are 306 in number but by the process of calcification that is deposition of calcium on bones this number reduces to 206.
