Study Notes
The Skeleton's Purpose
- Provides structural support for the body.
- Protects vital organs.
- Allows for movement.
- Produces blood cells.
Bone Structure
- The human adult skeleton contains 206 bones.
- The point at which two or more bones are connected is called a joint.
- Bone is formed by the gradual addition of calcium and phosphorus salts to cartilage, a process called ossification.
- Osteoblasts are the bone cells responsible for creating new bone tissue. The axial skeleton is the central part of the skeleton, and it includes the skull, the spinal column, the ribs, and the sternum.
