Skeletal System
When we talk about the skeletal system, the first thing that often comes to our minds is the skeleton. That’s right! We can envision that the skeletal system is made up of all the bones and joints in our body. Different areas of bones have their own unique purpose.
The purpose of the skeletal system is to provide support and protection for the soft tissues and organs.
The skeletal system also helps bones and muscles connect together, and joints help us move freely.
