The humerus is the upper arm bone. 3 The Skeletal System Also Includes Joints Cartilages Ligaments 4 Articular cartilage covers the ends of bones at articulations or joints Ligaments attach bones to other bones Tendons attach muscles to bones 4 5 Anatomy of the Skeletal System 5 Two Divisions of the Skeleton Axial Skeleton & Appendicular Skeleton 6
