The skeletal system works in conjunction with muscles, tendons, and ligaments to allow movement and support the body’s structure.Bones contain bone marrow, which is responsible for producing red and white blood cells.Bones come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including long bones (like the humerus or radius), short bones (such as those in the wrist), flat bones (like the scapula or sternum), and irregular bones (such as the vertebrae).The skull, made up of 22 bones, protects the brain and houses the sensory organs, such as the eyes, nose, and ears.Bones serve multiple functions, including providing structural support, protecting vital organs, storing minerals, and producing blood cells.Some bones fuse together as a person grows, resulting in a decrease in the overall bone count. Babies are born with more bones than adults.The smallest bone in the human body is called the stapes, located in the ear, while the femur (thigh bone) is the longest and strongest bone.
Bones are not static structures they are living tissues that constantly undergo remodeling and regeneration.The human skeleton is composed of 206 bones.Here are some, simplified, fun and interesting facts about skeletons ( here is a link to my information source): If you’re new to my coloring pages, you should know that I like to give you the option of learning about the subject so that you can easily turn it into an educational lesson while you are at it…so here we go!
