Overview of the Skeletal System
The budowa szkieletu skeletalstructure forms the framework of the human body and serves several critical functions. This section provides an introduction to the major components and roles of the skeletal system.
The skeletal system is composed of two main divisions:
- The axial skeleton, which includes the skull, spine, ribs, and sternum
- The appendicular skeleton, consisting of the limbs and their connecting girdles
Key elements of the axial skeleton are highlighted, including the skull, sternum, ribs, and vertebral column. For the appendicular skeleton, major bones like the clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvic bone, femur, tibia, and fibula are identified.

Definition: The axial skeleton forms the central axis of the body, while the appendicular skeleton includes the limbs and their attachments to the axial skeleton.
This overview provides a foundation for understanding the complex and interconnected nature of the human skeletal system.
