Exploring the Human Skeletal System
The skeletal system is crucial for protecting organs, providing structure for movement, storing minerals, and producing blood cells. It consists of the axial and appendicular skeleton, with bones classified into long, short, flat, and irregular shapes. Long bones, such as the femur, play a key role
