The skeletal system is more than a stack of bones: collagen and calcium build the tissue, a periosteum sheath wraps it, and red marrow inside spongy bone turns out blood cells by the billion. Ligaments tie bone to bone, tendons anchor muscle, and growth plates keep lengthening the frame until adulthood.
