Sceletus[1][2] (ab adiectivo Graeco σκελετός 'siccatus'), vel in vocabulario anatomico sceletum,[3] est durum systema in corpore vertebratorum (quibus endosceletus vocatur), super quod musculi, ligamenta, et cutis tenduntur, aut corpus rigidum invertebratorum (quibus exosceletus vocatur), nullum os continens, quod omnia viscera continet. Sceletus in vertebratis ossibus, aut in chondrichtyibus cartilagine fit. In sceleto Hominis sapientis, adultis 206 ossa esse solent, multo minora quam infantulis.
In arte, sceletus, vel adeo calva sola, mortem saepe significat.
