__There are 206 bones in the body.__

 * ==== 28 skull bones, ====
 * ==== 26 vertebrae, ====
 * ==== 24 ribs, ====
 * ==== 3 pelvic, ====
 * ==== 30 bones in each arm and leg (total of 120). ====
 * ==== and a few other bones mix in there. ====

All most every bone in the body protects an organ. Here's a few.

 * ==== The skull protects the brain. ====
 * ==== The ribs protect the heart and lungs. ====
 * ==== The spine and vertebrae protect the spinal cord,neck, and lower back. ====
 * ==== the collar bone protects the neck ====
 * scapula- shoulder blade
 * ==== clavice- collarbone ====
 * ==== humerus- upper arm bone ====
 * unla- lower arm bone
 * ==== carpals- wrist bone ====
 * ==== femur- thighbone ====
 * ==== tibia- shinbone ====
 * ==== fibula- lower leg bone ====
 * ==== tarsals- ankle bone ====
 * ==== pelvis- hipbone ====

Here are parts of a bone

 * ==== compact bone- hard outer surface ====
 * ==== marrow- helps make red and white blood cells ====
 * ==== spongy bone- porous with blood vessels and nerves ====
 * ==== periosteum- active membranekinds of joint ====
 * gliding- is in your wrist for example This picture bellow is a picture of a broken bone near the shoulder
 * pivot-head atop verebra
 * ==== hinge- knee [][]====
 * ==== ball and socket- in your hip ====

Facts-

 * ==== your bones and muscles work together to make you move ====
 * ==== Tendons connect muscle to bone ====
 * ==== A shark does not have bones instead it has Cartilage ====
 * ==== The kind of joint in your fingers is called a hinge joint ====
 * ==== A baby has more bones than an adult ====
 * ==== Bone is stronger than steel ====
 * ==== he size of the smallest bone is equivalent to the size of a rice grain. ====
 * If you break a bone, then you might need surgery to get it healed

Definitions The skull- The skull supports the structure of the face, the adult skull is made up of 22 bones! Wow weird huh! The ribs-Ribs are long curved bones that make up the rib cage, humans have 24 ribs. Spine/vertabrae- The vertabrae consists of 24 vertabrae. Scapula- The scapula also know as the shoulder blade,connects the humerous with the cavicle Humerous-the humerous is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow. Ulna- the ulna is one of the longest bones in the arm, the other longest bone is the radius Femer-The femer, or also known as the thigh bone is the closet to the body Tibia-The tibia ,shinbone, or shankbone is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the leg in the knee Fibula-The fibula is a bone located on one side of the tibia

What is the skeletal system? Your Skeletal system is all of the bones in the body and the tissues such as tendons, ligaments and cartilage that connect them.

What is a bone made out of? A typical bone, has a outer layer of bone that is called compact bone, which is very strong.Inside that layer is something called spongy bone, which is jelly-like.In the middle of is bone marrow, where new cells are being produced for our blood.

The skeletal system has bones, cartilage and joints. The skeletal system serves several important functions, such as making movement possible and protecting organs

ProtectionThe skeletal system also protects areas of the average human. The skull for example, protects the brain. The rib cage also protects many of a person's organs, like the heart and lungs from damage.  Movement Movement of the body is the interaction with bones and the muscles that are attached to them called muscles, these muscles are attached to the bones. When they flex, these muscles cause movement. muscles are also the muscles that people constantly move, like in the hand arm and leg. Support Your skeletal system supports your body so you can move and do other activities.If there was no skeletal system you would be a huge pile of goo. RIBS-There are 4 parts of your ribs! the upper,lower,iner,outer. Your ribs are very strong and they happen to be stronger then metal. some of your ribs are cartalige. thats the iner part of your ribs. the outer part is weaker then the iner because the bones are spread out more. Wikipedia says "A cervical rib is a supernumerary (or extra) rib which arises from the seventh cervical vertebra."
