Sometimes this handle is covered with a rubberized material. I can have many kinds of tips. The two most

common ones are standard and Phillips. A Phillips head does not have to belong to a person of that name, though.

Jobs of the Human Skeleton

An adult's skeletal system is made of 206 bones. This bony framework weighs about 20

pounds.

Do you remember drawing stick people when you were younger? Looking back, it may

seem silly, but actually you were a little ahead of yourself if you think of your skeletal

system. A stick figure shows our skeletal structure. The center is the skull and spine. Then

two main girdles are attached to this axial skeleton. The arms are attached to the shoulder girdle. The legs are

attached to the pelvic girdle. Of course, each bone is connected to another bone.

Your skeletal system has two main jobs: to support and to protect. It also has another function that is not so

obvious. That job is to act as a storehouse for calcium and phosphorus.

Your skeleton supports your body. It gives the body shape. It also allows the body to move.

Your skeleton protects your delicate internal organs. The skull protects the brain, which is, of course, the

control center for the body. The backbone protects the spinal cord that delivers messages between the body and

brain. The rib cage protects the heart and lungs. Inside the bones is the bone marrow where blood cells are

produced.

Your skeleton stores calcium and phosphorus. Ninety-nine percent of all the body's calcium is stored in your

bones. Why is that important? The nerves that stimulate muscle contractions need calcium. It is also needed for

clotting blood. Phosphorus is a part of the RNA and DNA, which determine your traits and are responsible for the

making of proteins in your body.

If we were to lose too much calcium from our bones, they would become soft. Then they would easily break.

Therefore, it is important to drink milk, eat cheese, or eat other foods that are rich in calcium. Calcium is so

important that if a woman is pregnant and is not eating enough foods with calcium, her body will automatically

take calcium out of her own bones to give to the growing baby.

Eat healthy! Keep your bones strong!
