Introduction:

The skeletal system of human comprises 206 bones that are classified into axial and appendicular skeleton. The appendicular system forms the upper and the lower limbs. The axial skeleton includes the skull and the vertebral column bones. The cartilage is a flexible connective tissue present near the joints of bones and other body parts such as the external ear. They provide elasticity to the joints so that they can produce movements with respect to the skeletal muscles.
