The Diseases of Skeletal and Muscular Structures in Human Body

Skeletal system is a bony/cartilaginous supportive framework that gives protection from outer injuries to our body, enhances the strength to softer parts and it is a place for attachments of muscles. Bones and muscles form a lever system. When the muscles contract, they pull on the bones and so bend and tighten the limb or change it forwards and backwards.
