- The Skeletal system consists of 206 bones that comprise a framework for the body.
- This functioning framework provides support, protection and motion.
- Minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, copper and cobalt are stored in the bones.
- The skeletal system is an anchor for the muscles, tendons and ligaments.
- Parts of the spine: 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 1 sacrum, 1 coccyx vertebrae = 26 vertebrae. This is the same number of bones in each foot.
