Moreover, a skeleton consistsnot merely of all the bones of a body, but of all thebones united together in their proper places. In ourbodies they are bound together by tough stringy connec-tive tissue. The skeleton of the living body, as distin-guished from a dead skeleton made of dry bones joinedtogether by wires, is therefore made up of three differentthings; namely, bones, cartilages, and connective tissue. 2. The Bones, two hundred and six in number (seetable, p. 22), form the hardest, and stiffest, and heaviest 1. What is a skeleton? What change takes place in the skeletonof a child as it grows ?
