What is Overview of the Skeletal System about?
The skeletal system consists of 206 bones in adults and 270 bones in newborns that provide structure, support, and protection. Bones are composed of either compact bone, which is dense and strong, or spongy bone, which is light. Bone marrow is found within bones and produces red blood cells and stores fat. Cartilage covers and protects the ends of bones at joints to allow for smooth movement. Muscles connect to bones via tendons and work antagonistically in pairs to control movement through contraction gene
