The Human Skeleton

The human skeleton provides shape and form to the human body
Our vital organs in our body are protected by our skeleton. More specifically our brain which is protected by what is called the skull and our heart and lungs are protected by our rib cage.
Bones are connected by our ligaments and where the bones meet eachother is called a joint.
Muscles are connected to the bones by tendons
Bones are sonnected to each other by ligaments
Blood cells are produced by the marrow located in some bones
How your bones move!
Muscles pull on the bones, making them move and when muscles contract the bones attached act as levers which makes the body move.
