The human skeletal system provides structural support to the body and protects internal organs.
The clavicle, commonly referred to as the collarbone, is located between the sternum and scapula.
The femur, or thigh bone, is the largest and strongest bone in the human body.
The axial skeleton consists of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage, providing support and protection to vital organs.
Ball and socket joints, like those in the shoulder and hip, allow for rotational movement in multiple directions.
Red bone marrow is responsible for producing red and white blood cells, as well as platelets.
Calcium is the primary mineral found in bones, helping to maintain their strength and density.
The femur is the thigh bone and is not part of the arm.
The carpal bones form the wrist, allowing for the dexterous movements of the hand.
The patella is commonly known as the kneecap and plays a critical role in knee protection and movement.
