- Human Skeletal System
The skeleton is the bony framework upon which the body is built. The skeletal system protects internal organs. The main function of the skeletal system is to help the body in locomotion and movement.
Bones are living tissues that make up the body’s skeleton and give it shape. Bones are reinforced with calcium and specialised bone cells.
There are about 206 bones in the adult human body. The process of bone formation requires an adequate and constant supply of nutrients, such as calcium, protein, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin D, potassium, and fluoride.
