What to Focus On

  • The skeletal system is made up of 206 bones in an adult.
  • Bones provide shape, support, and protection to the body.
  • The skeleton helps in movement with the help of muscles.
  • Bones are made of calcium, phosphorus, and collagen.
  • Bone marrow is found inside bones and makes blood cells.
  • Bones are strong but lightweight due to their hollow structure.
  • Skull: Protects the brain and gives shape to the face.
  • Ribcage: Protects the heart and lungs; made of 12 pairs of ribs and the sternum.
  • Backbone (Vertebral Column): Made of 33 small bones called vertebrae; protects the spinal cord.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The skull is made of one single bone.

We can move all joints in the same way — like bending arms and twisting head the same amount.
