Bones & Skeleton Models

A bones and skeleton model is an anatomical representation of the body's internal framework, which in adults consists of 206 bones organized into the axial skeleton (skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum) and the appendicular skeleton (limbs and girdles). Models display the structural components of bones, which include compact bone (outer, dense layer) and cancellous bone (spongy, inner layer), and show how they work together with muscles and joints to provide support, protection, and movement
