Exploring The Human Skeletal System Through Bone Classification

The video tutorial provides an overview of the human skeletal system, focusing on the classification of bones into the axial and appendicular skeletons. It details the components and functions of the axial skeleton, including the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage, highlighting their protective roles. The appendicular skeleton is also discussed, emphasizing its role in movement and the importance of joints.
