Skeletal system

The skeletal system serves crucial roles in the human body, including providing structural support, protecting organs, storing minerals, and generating new blood cells. Bones are vital for supplying calcium, essential for nervous system function, while vertebrae protect the spinal cord from injury. The system works closely with the muscular system, as muscles contract and move the skeleton. Comprising cartilage and calcified bone, the skeletal system is integral to maintaining body stability and movement.

  2. Facts about skeletal system • Definiton- holds organs in place, provides structural support, stores minerals and generates new blood cells. • Functions-provides structural support,stores minerals and generates new blood cells • The skeletal system also protects internal organs and produces blood cells. Bones provide calcium that is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. The vertebrae protect the spinal cordfrom injury. Sensory receptors in joints between bones send signals about body position to the brain.

  3. More facts • For the organs it really does not have any but it includes bones and joints.

  4. Other body systems it interacts with • The skeletal system also protects internal organs and produces blood cells. Bones provide calcium that is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. The vertebrae protect the spinal cordfrom injury. Sensory receptors in joints between bones send signals about body position to the brain. • interaction with your muscular system. Muscles connect to your skeleton and they contract and move the skeleton along. Your skeletal system is made up of cartilage and calcified bone that work together
