Skeletal System Class Notes

The document discusses the skeletal system, its major functions, parts, and features. The skeletal system contains bones and tissues that provide structure, protect organs, allow for movement, store calcium, and form blood cells. The key parts of the skeletal system are bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Bones have compact and spongy layers and marrow. There are different types of joints like ball-and-socket, pivot, hinge, gliding, and others that enable different motions.
