This system is made up of several bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves. Oxygen-rich blood is supplied to these parts by the cardiovascular system.<\/p>\n
Like other organ systems, the skeletomuscular system is also vulnerable to a wide range of ailments and conditions such as arthritis, osteoarthritis<\/a>, rheumatoid arthritis<\/a>, carpel tunnel syndrome<\/a>, bone cancer, etc, along with fractures<\/a>, sprains and injuries.
