You know that the skeletal system protects the internal organs. Do you know of anything else that is hard and protects something around you?

Answer:
In this page we look at the major components and functions of the system that gives each and every one of us our 'structure'

The human skeleton is quite simply a collection of about 206 different shaped bones that align with each other to create a protective framework for the body that muscles can connect to and provide movement from.
An example of the skeleton in the anatomical position can be seen in the adjacent image.
What does the skeleton do?
The skeleton provides four major functions, which are;
1. Support : It provides a framework to support the organs and tissues of the body.
2. Protection: It protects our internal organs. The skull protects the brain; the thorax (sternum, ribs and spine) protects the heart, lungs and other viscera (organs within the thorax).
3. Movement: It provides a framework for muscles to attach. Then when the muscles contract they pull on the bones of the skeleton, which act like levers to create movement.
4. Supply & Storage: The bones that make up the skeleton are a source of both red blood cells (which transport oxygen) and white blood cells (which fight infection), which are formed within the bone marrow.
