The document summarizes key aspects of the human skeletal system in 3 sentences or less:
The skeletal system is made up of 206 bones that provide structure, support, protection, movement, and other functions to the body, and bones are classified by size, shape, and location in either the axial or appendicular skeleton. Bone tissue is made up of cells, collagen fibers, and minerals that give bones flexibility and rigidity, and bones develop through two processes - intramembranous ossification or endochondral ossification. The skeletal system begins developing prenatally and continues changing and growing into early adulthood.
