2. Skeletal System:
   • Definition: The framework of bones and cartilage that supports the body and facilitates movement.
3. Cortex:
   • Definition: The outer layer of a bone, providing strength and protection.
4. Medullary Cavity:
   • Definition: The central cavity of bone shafts where red and yellow bone marrow is stored.
5. Cartilage:
   • Definition: A flexible connective tissue found in joints, the rib cage, and other areas, providing cushioning and support.
6. Joint (Articulation):
   • Definition: The location where two or more bones meet, allowing for movement and flexibility. Joints can be classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.
7. Ligament:
