SKELETAL SYSTEM skeletal system functions support the skeleton serves as the structural framework for the body supporting soft tissues and providing attachment

This picture shows the general features of bones. Bone is a connective tissue with a matrix hardened by minerals. Bones provide support, protection (like the ribs protect the heart), and aid in blood formation. Bone remodels itself throughout life. The periosteum is connective tissue that surrounds the bone. Once the epiphyseal plate stops growing it turns into a line. (Picture obtained from McGraw-Hill Connect).
