The Skeletal System

The skeletal system is essential for supporting the body, providing shape, and facilitating movement. It protects vital organs, with the skull safeguarding the brain, ribs shielding the lungs and heart, and the vertebrae encasing the spinal cord. Comprising 206 bones, the skeleton includes joints where bones meet, supported by ligaments that maintain stability. Additionally, the center of bones contains bone marrow, which produces new cells. This overview highlights the crucial aspects of the skeletal system, its structure, and function in the human body.

  1. The Skeletal System

  2. The skeletal system supports the body and gives it shape. • It also works with muscles to move the body. • Another one of its functions is to protect the soft organs and body parts.

  3. The skull protects the brain. • Ribs protect the lungs and heart. • The backbone (vertebrae) protects the spinal cord.

  4. The Skeleton • The skeleton is made up of 206 bones. • It contains cartilage in all the places where two bones meet. • Point to something on your face that is made up of cartilage.

  5. The skeleton • The place where two or more bones join together is called a joint. • Talk with your partner and find at least 5 joints on your body. • Ligaments connect the bones in the joints of the body and help to keep them in place. In the very center of the bone is bone marrow. It is a soft tissue that makes new cells.
