The Skeletal System

Your skeleton is the framework of your body. Bones provide protection, but they do much more than that. They also produce blood cells and even act as storehouses for minerals the body may need in the future. This guidebook to the human skeletal system includes information about diseases, disorders, and injuries, and discusses how to keep your bones healthy. Numerous photographs and informative diagrams help readers understand the human body and provide a remarkable look at the skeletal system.
