1. Skeletal System: The skeletal system gives shape and form to our
body, supports and protects it, and allows easy body movement. The
skull protects the brain while the vital organs like the heart and the
lungs are protected by the rib cage. Bones are also important for blood
cell formation and nutrient storage. There are a total of 206 bones in the
adult human body.
The human skeletal system,
which serves as a framework for
the human body, is primarily
made up of two types of
connective tissues: bone and
cartilage. Cartilage is softer and
more flexible than bone. It
provides support and structure to
various body tissues like the ear,
nose, larynx and acts as a cushion
at the end of joints that protects
bones from rubbing against each
other.
4. Nervous System:
The brain and the spinal
cord make up the main
nervous system. The brain
lies inside the skull while the
spinal cord is protected by
the vertebrae. The human
brain is the most developed
compared to any other
animal. It is the control
centre for movement, sleep,
hunger, thirst and all other
activities important for
survival.
