Skeletons and Supporting Systems in Animals

What would animals including you look like as well as incapable of doing without the support of bones and cartilage? Sitting, standing, crawling, walking, swimming, flying, and more, would be impossible.

Multicellular organisms have some form of rigid support system that give them shape that enable them to exhibit movement of various degrees as well as withstand forces of wind and water. The framework and the tissues that support it is known as tissue and supporting system.

Skeleton is the framework which gives support and shape to an animal. This supporting framework can be on the inside of the organism: in higher animals such as reptiles, birds and mammals, the organisms have a skeleton  which  form the central core of the body. It is covered by muscles, blood vessels, nerves and skin.
