Understanding the Skeletal System: Functions, Joints, Injuries, and Care

The skeletal system plays a vital role in providing support, protecting organs, facilitating movement, and producing red blood cells. Joints, where bones meet, come in various types such as fixed, ball-and-socket, and hinge joints, each allowing different movements. Common bone injuries include sprains, fractures, and dislocations, while conditions like osteoporosis and scoliosis can affect bone health. To maintain strong bones, regular exercise, proper footwear, calcium and vitamin D-rich diets, good posture, and scoliosis screenings are essential.
