The Skeletal System

By Leigh McClure

The framework of the body is the skeleton. Its bones protect the body, but also produce blood cells and even act as storehouses for minerals the body may need in the future. In this informative volume, readers are guided through the skeletal system of the human body, including information about diseases, disorders, and injuries that can damage it. Tips on keeping bones healthy is also part of the text. Full-color photographs and diagrams aid readers' understanding of the system while sidebars and fact boxes engage readers with important science concepts and vocabulary.
