MUSCULO-SKELETAL SYSTEM

The musculoskeletal system is responsible for supporting the body, enabling movement, and protecting internal organs. It comprises bones, muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. This system provides structural stability, facilitates locomotion, and stores essential minerals like calcium. Common musculoskeletal conditions include fractures, arthritis, osteoporosis, and muscle strains. Regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, and proper posture can help maintain musculoskeletal health.
