skeletal system

skeletal system plays an important role in our body. It serves as our framework of the body. Without our skeletal system our body will have no form and we will be paralyzed. There are 206 bones that forms a rigid framework which softer tissues and organs are attached. A function of the skeletal system is it protects vital organs like our brain which is protected by the skull, the heart and the lungs that are encased by the sternum and the rib cage. Another thing that I learned is that bones have two form: the spongy and the compact bone. Compact bone is dense, hard, and fornm the protective exterior portion of all bones. Spongy bone is inside the compact bone and is very porous(full of tiny holes). That's all thank you very much
