Course description

The skeletal system is the framework of bones that supports and shapes the body. It gives structure, protects important organs like the brain and heart, and helps us move. Bones are connected by joints, allowing flexibility and movement. The skeletal system also stores minerals like calcium and produces blood cells in the bone marrow. In total, adults have 206 bones that work together to keep the body strong and functional.
