How it works?

     The Human skeleton  consists of 206 bones. These bones support your body and allow you to move.

The Skeletal System serves many important functions; it provides the shape and form for our bodies in addition to supporting, protecting, allowing bodily movement, producing blood for the body, and storing minerals.

 Bones are connected to other bones at joints. There are many different types of joints, including: fixed joints (such as in the skull, which consists of many bones), hinged joints (such as in the fingers and toes), and ball-and-socket joints (such as the shoulders and hips).

Muscles pull on bones and act as lever systems.Muscles move and make us capable of a variety of actions by simply contracting and becoming shorter. Muscles pull but they cannot push.
