The bones in the body together form a skeletal system of that body and all the bones not dismantled is the skeleton.

average human body has 206 bones.  Some have one or two more or less.\n\nas for the joints, I've only had one today...

the skeletal system provides structure and the muscles allow flexion and extension at the joints.

THE FIVE MAJOR FUCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM\n1st:The skeleton gives shape and support to your body\n2nd:bones protect your internal organs.For example,ribs surround the heart and lungs, and the skull encloses the brain.\n3nd:Major muscles are attached to bone and help them move\n4th:Blood cells are formed in the center of many bones in soft tissue called red marrow.\n5th:Major quantities of calcium and phosphorous compounds are stored in the skeleton for later use.Calcium and phosphorous make bones hard.

There are many, you could try investigating different systems separately:\n- skeleton: detachment of pectoral girdle from skull, attachment of pelvic girdle to column; vertebrae with zygapophyses, limbs with digits, etc.\n- tegument: keratinization, impermeabilization, glands; thermal and hydric regulation.\n- sensory: eye pigments, middle ear with tympanum, loss of lateral line system.\n- other systems: lungs, kidney structure, large intestin, double circulation, etc.

muscles provide both support and functionality. Muscles pull ang push on bones so that they may work. Digestive system digests food and provides energy supply and calcium deposits. Circulatory system transports essential nutrients into bones. Nervous system regulates the action of the bones whether to move or not. Endocrine system parathyroid gland regulates bone formation and bone breakdown. Integumentary system protects bone and muscle from outside environment. Respiratory system brings oxygen

Muscles are the means by which you can move bones and are usually connected across 2 bones. The parts of your body with a high number of bones are also going to have a high number of individual muscles. Depending on the way you seperate body parts, I'd go with hands or feet as having the most number of muscles.

The skeletal system is the base for all of the other systems, in your question, muscles are directly attached to bone by tendons and ligaments.  The nerves then run around and through our muscles so when a thought to move is made then the nerve is sent from the brain to the nerves then they send it to the muscle creating a movement.

Clearly, joints provide mobility in an otherwise rigid skeleton. The skin is an organ, three cells thick, that serves as a barrier between the internal and external. The skin keeps things that should be in, in, and things that should be out, out.

The skeleton functions not only as the support for the body but also in haematopoiesis, the manufacture of blood cells that takes place in bone marrow. It is also necessary for protection of vital organs and is needed by the muscles for movement.

Without a skeleton we'd be like a jellyfish on land. Which would make it hard to type into Yahoo Answers.

Hmmmmmmm, interesting question and I'm not an expert on the skeletal system (hoping you meant skeletal vs. sleletal what was written).  If I seriously think about it... "What does the Skeletal system and the joints support as a system".  I would have to think the system is the human body all emcompassing.  If one thinks about it... It supports the entire body structure.  Meaning it gives the human body the ability to stand, to move, and most importantly to 'protect' the internal organs.  If the human body had no bone structure we'd simply be like a spongly rubber thingy.  The joints now give the bone structure the ability to move, to bend.  Gives the structure range of motion.  Curious to see the other anwers to this question. Good Luck and thanks for asking.

Moves your skeleton apparently. It's job is to move your skeleton. The bones help structure this body so it can sustain movement.

The human body contains 206 bones!\n\nThe human skeleton is made of individual or joined bones (such as the skull), supported and supplemented by a structure of ligaments, tendons, muscles, cartilage and other organs.\n\nThe skeleton is not unchanging; it changes composition over a lifespan. Early in gestation, a fetus has no hard skeleton; bones form gradually during nine months in the womb. At birth, all bones will have formed, but a newborn baby has more bones than an adult. On average, an adult human has 206 bones (according to Gray's Anatomy, but the number can vary slightly from individual to individual), but a baby is born with approximately 300 bones. The difference comes from a number of small bones that fuse together during growth, such as the sacrum and coccyx of the vertebral column. An infant is born with pockets of cartilage between particular bones to allow further growth. The sacrum (the bone at the base of the spine) consists of five bones which are separated at birth but fuse together into a solid structure in later years. Growing is usually completed between ages 12 and 14, at which point the bones have no pockets of cartilage left to allow more growth.\n\nNot all bones are interconnected directly. There are 6 bones, the auditory ossicles (three on each side), in the middle ear that articulate only with each other. Another bone, the hyoid bone in the neck, does not touch any other bones in the body, and is supported by muscles and ligaments; it serves as the point of attachment for the tongue.Also some of the ribs called the floating ribs only hang by Muscle and are not attached to the spine.\n\nThe longest and heaviest bone in the body is the femur and the smallest is the stapes bone in the middle ear. In an adult, the skeleton comprises around 20% of the total body weight.

At birth the human body has about 350 bones, but by the time adulthood rolls around, some of our bones have fused together to give us a total of 206 bones in our body!\n\nHere is the breakdown:\n\nThe adult skeleton consists of 206 bones . . . \n\n- 28 skull bones (8 cranial, 14 facial, and 6 ear bones); \n\n- the horseshoe-shaped hyoid bone of the neck; \n\n- 26 vertebrae (7 cervical or neck, 12 thorax, 5 lumbar or loins, the sacrum which is five fused vertebrae, and the coccyx, our vestigial tail, which is four fused vertebrae);\n\n- 24 ribs plus the sternum or breastbone; the shoulder girdle (2 clavicles, the most frequently fractured bone in the body, and 2 scapulae); \n\n- the pelvic girdle (2 fused bones); \n\n- 30 bones in our arms and legs (a total of 120); \n\n- There are also a few partial bones, ranging from 8-18 in number, which are related to joints.
