Video Summary
The skeletal system serves as the frame for the body, providing support and protection. It consists of bones, joints, cartilage, and ligaments. Bones consist of living tissue that undergoes constant remodeling as it matures and ages, whereas joints are the points where two bones meet and can allow for movement. Cartilage is a tough yet flexible connective tissue that lines the joint surfaces and helps to cushion them, whereas ligaments attach bone to bone generally to stabilize joints.
