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:

Around the third decade of person’s life span‚ the muscle tissue reduces in size‚ elasticity and strength. As a result the body gets older and muscular activity becomes less takes more
