From the skull all the way to the toes of our feet‚ everything is important. Out of the 206 bones‚ they all form our different shapes and make us all unique. They create our framework and enables us the move and perform our different activities during our everyday life. Another thing that the skeletal system does is protects all of our vital organs.

The Skeletal System is the framework of the body‚ consisting of 206 bones as well as a network of tendons that is made of tough band of fibrous collagen tissue connecting a muscle to bone‚ ligaments connecting bones to joint and cartilage that allows some flexibility of movement. The skeletal system serves 4 functions: (1) Giving the body its shape (2) Protecting the vital internal organs (3) Allowing for movement (4) Storing minerals and producing blood cells The skeletal system has 6 basic components:

injuries such as bone fractures or ligament injuries require intensive care as well as a substantial amount of time for recovery. Sports horses by very nature have a higher percentage to encounter such injuries. These injuries can become a huge problem not only physically‚ but can also determine the lifespan of the injured horse. In Equine‚ the suspensory ligaments consist of a strong band of tendon-like tissue that lies along the back of the cannon bone between the splint bones (ucsdavis pg 4).
