Skeletal System
A fully developed human skeleton is comprised of 206 bones. The skeleton provides the body with a rigid structure that allows us to stand. This system also involves the ligaments and cartilage in the body, which help to form joints allowing the structures to pivot and move with the help of the muscles.
Answer and Explanation: 1
The right scapula attaches the right clavicle (collar bone) to the right humerus of the upper arm. This anatomy with the help of muscles contributes to the movement of the shoulder.
