Skeletal System

The skeletal system document discusses bones, bone marrow, and joints. It explains that bones are living tissues with blood vessels and nerves that store minerals, manufacture blood cells, and grow. The document distinguishes between yellow marrow, which stores fat, and red marrow, which produces red blood cells. It also categorizes joints as either immovable, slightly movable, or freely movable depending on how the bones connect and move relative to each other.
