Bones provide support for our bodies and help form our shape. Although they're very light, bones are strong enough to support our entire weight. Bones also protect the body's organs. The skull protects the brain and forms the shape of the face.:)

The skeletal system contains the bones that give structure to the human body. Bones protect and support vital organs and work with muscles to help the body move. To gain strength and stability, bones and teeth must absorb nutrients, such as calcium and phosphorus, in a process called mineralization.
