The skeleton

The skeleton: It is the hard framework of the body formed by bones that gives a proper shape to the body, provides support, and gives protection to the body.
The skeleton consists of three parts

1. Axial skeleton

It consists of the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum.

2. Appendicular skeleton

It consists of bones of the fore-limb and hind-limb.

3. Splanchnic/Heterotropic/ Visceral skeleton

These include certain bones that develop in the soft organs of the body e.g., Os penis of dog and Os cordis of the ox.
