The Skeleton System provides the hard structure or framework to the human body which support and protects the body. It is composed of connective tissues like bones, cartilage, tendons and ligaments.

The skeleton allows movement, provides support and protection for vital organs and makes blood cells. Skeletal muscles move the bones in the body. The skeletal system is made from bones and joints.

Researchers successfully developed and validated a new outcome measure to monitor disease severity and progression in patients with impaired skeletal muscle function caused by mitochondrial disease.

The muscular system works in conjunction with the skeleton to produce movement of the limbs and body. Ligaments and tendons are two main types of connective tissues that help the muscular-skeletal ...
