Ch. 5 The Skeletal System

"Although the word skeleton comes from the Greek word meaning “dried-upbody,” our internal framework is so beautifully designed & engineered that it puts any modern skyscraper to shame. Strong, yet light, it is perfectly adapted for its functions of body protection & motion."
