Functions Of The Skeletal System
The Skeletal system give the body, support, movement, protection, blood cell production, calcium storage and endocrine regulation. which makes us able to move through out the day. The skeletal system has two distinctive parts: the axial skeleton and the
appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton, with a total of 80 bones, has of the vertebral column, the rib cage and the skull. The axial skeleton transmits the weight from the head, the trunk and the upper extremities down to the lower extremities at the hip joints, which help humans maintain our upright posture. The appendicular skeleton has a total of 126 bones, and is formed by the pectoral girdles, the upper limbs, the pelvic girdle and the lower limbs. Their functions are to make walking, running and other movement possible and to protect the major organs responsible for digestion, excretion and reproduction.
Diseases
X-rays, MRIs, bone density tests and arthroscopy are some of the tools we use to find diseases of the skeletal system. Osteoporosis is a disease of the skeletal system, particularly among the elderly, resulting in the loss of bone tissue. In osteoporosis, bone loses calcium, becomes thinner, and may disappear completely.
