	Skeletal System
		This section of the skeletal system comprises the pectoral and pelvic limb girdles and bones of the free appendages.
		Skeletal systems are commonly divided into three types—external (an exoskeleton), internal (an endoskeleton), and fluid based (a hydrostatic skeleton), although hydrostatic skeletal systems may be classified separately from the other two, because they lack hardened support structures.
		An internal skeletal system consists of rigid or semi-rigid structures, within the body, moved by the muscular system.

		One can see the skeletal system in the physical body, but may not be able to see the principles of the skeletal system on the mental/psychological or spiritual levels.
		The skeletal system is the source of the red blood cells in the blood, which carry the oxygen to every cell and tissue within the body.
		For example, if a mother is pregnant and does not have enough calcium in her system from the foods she eats, calcium is drawn from the mother’s skeletal system to develop the baby’s bones.

	Skeleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skeletal systems are commonly divided into three types - external (an exoskeleton), internal (an endoskeleton), and fluid based (a hydrostatic skeleton), although hydrostatic skeletal systems may be classified separately from the other two, since they lack hardened support structures.
		Large external systems support proportionally less weight than endoskeletons of the same size, thus many larger animals, such as the vertebrates, have internal skeletal systems.
		An internal skeletal system consists of rigid (or semi-rigid) structures, within the body, moved by the muscular system.
