Skeleton
Looks like
The bones of the trunk: spine, ribs, breastbone and the pelvis, with the shoulder girdle attached above.
What it does
Holds the body upright, protects the organs of chest and belly and carries the limbs.
Keeping it well
Osteoporosis weakens these bones silently; loss of height or sudden back pain in older age may be a spinal fracture.
