The Skeletal System
Introduction to the Skeletal System
The skeletal system is a fundamental component of human anatomy and physiology, providing structure, protection, and support for the body. It consists of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints, all working together to facilitate movement and maintain homeostasis.
Definition: The skeletal system is the framework of bones and connective tissues that supports and protects the body’s organs.
Main Functions: Support, protection, movement, mineral storage, and blood cell formation (hematopoiesis).
Components: Bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints.
Example: The skull protects the brain, while the rib cage shields the heart and lungs.
