skeleton

The word 'esqueleto' in Spanish translates to 'skeleton' in English. A skeleton is the internal framework of bones within the body of a living organism. In Spanish, 'esqueleto' is commonly used in both scientific and casual contexts, just like its English counterpart, to refer to the structure that supports and protects an organism's body parts. This framework plays a crucial role in movement as it provides attachment points for muscles and capacities for internal organs. It is a frequently used term in biological and medical sciences, as well as in popular culture, arts, and literature, often conveying symbolic meanings.
