Is it human or animal ?  A friend found off the highway.  If it's human do we get ahold of the authorities?

<h2 class="title">6.3 Human skeleton</h2>
<p>Humans have a living <strong>endoskeleton</strong> (internal skeleton) made of bone, cartilage and connective tissue. At birth, the human skeleton consists of over \(\text{270}\) bones. However, in adults this number has reduced to \(\text{206}\) bones due the fusion of smaller bones into larger structures. The adult skeleton (<a href="#attachment_117669">see figure below</a>) is made up of the <strong>axial skeleton</strong> and the <strong>appendicular skeleton</strong> (<a href="#attachment_117670">see figure below</a>).</p>

Human Skeleton

Biology studies life and living organisms. Biology can be divided into different sections that cover the morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, and so on of living organisms.

Biology

Discover the support systems found in various animals, explore the structure and functions of different skeletons, learn about musculoskeletal tissues, joints and tendons, and discover the human circulatory system including the heart, blood vessels and associated diseases.
