Answer:

Explanation:

1. The skeletal system works as a support structure for your body. It gives the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs and stores minerals. The skeletal system is also called the musculoskeletal system.

2. Immovable joints allow no movement because the bones at these joints are held securely together by dense collagen. The bones of the skull are connected by immovable joints. ... Movable joints allow the most movement. Bones at these joints are connected by ligaments.

3. Vertebrae: The spine has 33 stacked vertebrae (small bones) that form the spinal canal. The spinal canal is a tunnel that houses the spinal cord and nerves, protecting them from injury. Most vertebrae move to allow for a range of motion. The lowest vertebrae (sacrum and coccyx) are fused together and don't move.

4. Washing your hands with soap and water, thoroughly and frequently. Covering your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough. Disinfecting frequently touched surfaces in your home and workplace. Avoiding contact with sick people or sharing personal items with them.

5. Insect borne diseases can be transmitted actively or passively in two ways: biologically: the disease-causing organism is carried within the animal body where it multiplies, breeds or passes through a phase of its life cycle, before being delivered into a new host, usually by biting to feed on blood.

6. Protein–energy malnutrition (PEM), sometimes called protein-energy undernutrition (PEU), is a form of malnutrition that is defined as a range of conditions arising from coincident lack of dietary protein and/or energy (calories) in varying proportions. The condition has mild, moderate, and severe degrees.
