    The skeletal system provides support, protection, and enables movement. It is made up of bones and tissues like tendons and ligaments that connect the bones. The main job of the skeleton is to provide support for the body so it does not collapse. It also protects internal organs by surrounding the brain, eyes, heart, lungs and spinal cord. Bones further allow for movement by providing structures for muscles to attach to, enabling the body to move through tendons connecting muscle to bone.

    Your Skeletal system is all of the bones in the body and the tissues such as tendons, ligaments and

    cartilage that connect them. Your teeth are also considered part of your skeletal system but they are not counted as bones. Your teeth are made of enamel and dentin. Enamel is the strongest substance in your body. How does the Skeletal System help us? Support The main job of the skeleton is to provide support for our body. Without your skeleton your body would collapse into a heap. Your skeleton is strong but light. Without bones you'd be just a puddle of skin and guts on the floor.
    Protection Your skeleton also helps protect your internal organs and fragile body tissues. The brain, eyes, heart, lungs and spinal cord are all protected by your skeleton. Your cranium (skull) protects your brain and eyes, the ribs protect your heart and lungs and your vertebrae(spine, backbones) protect your spinal cord.

    Movement Bones provide the structure for muscles to attach so that our bodies are able to move.Tendons are tough inelastic bands that hold attach muscle to bone.
