all the bones in the body; gives the body shape and support, protects internal organs, forms blood cells, stores minerals for later use, and provides for muscle attachment.
the hard structure (bones and cartilages) that provides a frame for the body of an animal

The skeletal system not only provides the body with form, but also protects and supports its soft organs and tissues. It also provides attachments for muscles and serves as a system of levers essential for locomotion.
The rigid, supportive, and protective structure or framework of an organism; the bony or cartilaginous framework supporting the soft tissues and protecting the internal organs
