(a) The part of a skeleton where two or more bones meet is a joint.
Joints are the areas where 2 or more bones meet. Most joints are mobile, allowing the bones to move.
(b) Tendons connects bones to muscles.
A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure.

(f) Tough bands of fibres holding the bones together are known as ligament.
A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
(g) The respiratory system excretes carbon dioxide.
The lungs in the respiratory system excrete some waste products, such as carbon dioxide and water. The skin is another excretory organ that rids the body of wastes through the sweat glands.
(h) The spinal cord is a part of the nervous system.
