    The document provides information about the human skeletal system. It discusses the main functions of the skeletal system, which are to provide a rigid framework for the body, protect vital organs like the brain and heart, and provide attachments for muscles. It describes the different types of bones, including long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. It also notes that bones are made of compact or spongy bone tissue and that they connect through ligaments and store minerals like calcium.

    FUNCTION OF THE
    SKELETON
     Its 206 bones form a rigid framework to which
    the softer tissues and organs of the body are
    attached.
     Vital organs are protected by the skeletal
    system.
     The brain is protected by a skull, and the heart
    is protected by the rib cage.
    BONES AND MUSCLES

     Muscles are connected to bones


    with tendons.
     Bones provide a ridged
    structure for muscles to assist in
    movement.
    TYPES OF BONES

     Bones are composed of


    tissue that may take one
    of two forms:
    Compact, or dense bone
     spongy, or cancellous,
    bone.
    BONE CATEGORIES
     Bones fall into several categories:

     Long Bones
     Short Bones
     Flat Bones
     Irregular Bones
    HUMAN BONES
     Bones connect to each
    other by ligaments.
     Blood cells are produced
    in bone marrow within
    some bones in the
    human body.
     An average of 2.6 million
    red blood cells are
    produced each second
    by the bone marrow.
    BONES STORE
    MINERALS
     Bones store minerals like Calcium
    and phosphorus.
     When there is an excess amount
    of these minerals in the blood, the
    bones store the extra amount.
     When there is a depletion of these
    minerals, the bones release the
    built up extra minerals back into
    the blood.
