Skeletal System – Posterior
Description
The skeletal system is the framework of bones, cartilage, and other connective tissues that provide support and structure to the body. The posterior aspect of the skeletal system includes the backbones, including the vertebrae, ribs, and pelvic girdle. These bones form the structure that supports and protects the spinal cord and the vital organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
The posterior skeletal system also plays a critical role in locomotion, providing attachment points for muscles and ligaments that allow trunk, limbs, and head movement. The posterior skeletal system is essential for producing blood cells and storing minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.
