Skeletal System
• It protects, provides form and structure.
• Humans, like all vertebrates, have an
endoskeleton (internal framework) made up of
bone and cartilage and the muscles attach to the
bone.
• Made up of 206 separate different shapes and
sizes of bone, which make up 18% of a person’s
body weight.
• Joints are where two or more bones meet.
• Cartilage acts as a cushion between bones.

wastes.
• The kidneys for example remove wastes from the blood.
• The liver is the most complex organ in the body because it
has so many important functions such as making bile, a
digestive juice. Skin is an excretory organ and the largest
organ in the human body.
• Epidermis is the outer layer of skin.
• Dermis is the inner layer of skin underneath the epidermis.
• Perspiration (sweat) is released through sweat pores.

materials.
•The immune system responds to attacks; white
blood cells leave the blood vessels and travel into
damaged tissue where the immune response takes
place.
