The support system is crucial to all living things such as plants, animals, and humans.
Plants lack skeletons like animals but use turgidity of cells within ramport packing tissue and the strongly constructed conducting tissue for support.
In humans and other animals, the main body support is provided by the internal skeletal system of bones in association with cartilage and the muscular system.
In some animals, the skeleton is external as in insects and prawns.
In all animals and humans, the skeleton supports body weight, maintains body shape, protects soft organs inside the body, provides a place for muscle attachment, and enables movement.
