Exploring the Human Skeleton and Its Functions

In this video, Mr. Bradley and Dr. Chris Raynor explore the human skeleton, discussing its purpose, the bones it comprises, and their functions. The skeleton supports the body, protects vital organs, and enables movement. Key bones like the skull, spine, ribcage, pelvis, and femur are highlighted. An interactive quiz reinforces learning, and viewers are encouraged to create their own skeleton models. The video concludes with a shoutout to a supportive class and a reminder to explore more educational content.
