THE
SKELETAL
SYSTEM
The skeleton is the structure
that supports the human
body, protects the internal
organs, and, together with
the muscles, permits
movement.
The skeletal system and joints
The skeleton is the internal and
articulated framework of our body,
composed of approximately 206
bones, which are firm, rigid
structures, resistant to impacts. This
is due to the fact they are made up of
mineral salts, like calcium.
Your body needs
calcium to build and
maintain strong
bones.
Doctors recommend
food high in calcium like
broccoli, almonds,
Joints are the areas
where bones meet, and
the majority of them
permit movement.
