Definition:Anatomical system that is a multi-element, multi-tissue anatomical cluster that consists of the skeleton and the articular system.
Comment:[homology-note] "By taking a holistic approach, integration of the evidence from molecular and developmental features of model organisms, the phylogenetic distribution in the 'new animal phylogeny' and the earliest fossilized remains of mineralized animal skeletons suggests independent origins of the skeleton at the phylum level.[debated][VHOG]" xsd:string {date_retrieved="2012-09-17", external_class="VHOG:0001254", ontology="VHOG", source="DOI:10.1159/000324245 Donoghue PCJ, Sansom IJ, Origin and early evolution of vertebrate skeletonization.
