Definition

The rigid framework of connected bones that gives form to the body, protects and supports its soft organs and tissues, and provides attachments for MUSCLES.

Annotation
the bony frame as a whole; avoid: use BONE AND BONES instead; "skeletal" in titles is probably "bone" = BONE AND BONES
