What Does The System Do- -Your skeletal system is all of the bones in the body including the tissue such as the tendons, cartilage, and ligaments connected. The main job for the skeletal system is to support our body. Without our skeletal, our body would collapse in a heap; our skeletal is strong but light.

Least 5 Organs/Parts Found In System & Their Function-
Organ #1- Brain (It is being protected by the skeletal skull) Function- It's function is the coordinating center of sensation and storing memories.

Organ#2- Heart (Protected by the sternum and rib cage) Function- It pumps blood through the circulatory system; the heart cares for a person's thoughts and emotions.

Organ#3- Lungs (Protected by sternum and rib cage) Function- It's function of elastic sacs with branching passages into which air is drawn, so oxygen can pass into the blood and carbon dioxide be removed.

Organ#4-Tendons (Wrapped around BONE) Function- Tendon's withstand tension and pressure; they work collectively with muscles to enrage rigorous movement.

Organ#5- Ligaments (Connected Bone-toBone in the SKELETAL SYSTEM) Function- Ligaments are organs that connect bone-to-bone in the __skeletal system.__ They are tissues that provide stability to joints throughout the body at resting points and moving points.
