Skeletal System

- There are 26 bones in the human foot

- The femur, or thighbone, is the longest and strongest bone of the human skeleton

The skeletal system consists of bones and connective tissue. Those connective tissues include cartilage, tendons, and ligaments

The functions of the organs/parts that make up the skeletal system

BONES: the bones provide the shape and supportiveness of the body. They can protect organs and other parts of yourself

CONNECTIVE TISSUE: The connective tissue maintains the form of the body &amp; provides cohesion and internal support.

SCOLIOSIS: scoliosis can affect your posture, causing pain or aching. As well as it can strain your joints causing them to inflame.

OSTEOPOROSIS: osteoporosis occurs when your bones become weak and brittle due to changes in bone mineral density and mass. With that happening it can lead to a higher risk of fracturing.
