INTRODUCTIONSkeleton and muscles together form a musculoskeletal system which is an important partof human body. It can be defined as collection of 206 bones in human body and rest of part helpsthem to move.

This assignment will focus on function of skeletal and muscularsystem in human body. It will also include importance of maintaining health of muscular andskeletal systems. TASK 1 1.1 Gross structure of human skeleton and its functionsThe of human skeleton system consist mainly bones and cartilage in order performseveral functions such as supports body, facilitate movement, protect internal organs, produceblood cells and Stores & release the minerals and fat. However, gross structure of skeletal systeminclude various parts such as appendicular skeleton, axial skeleton, coccyx, ear ossicles, hyoidbone, ribs, sacrum, skull, sternum, thoracic cage, vertebra and vertebral column. Moreover, theseparts of skeletal system has their own role according to their location in particular body part ofhuman body (Dixon, 2017). In addition to this, these different parts are helpful to connect witheach other to form overall skeleton of body and facilitate to conduct overall functions of skeletalsystem.
