Cartilage is a flexible substance that allows the joints to slide against each other without causing too much friction. It covers the parts of bones where they meet, and when it wears away (such as in arthritis), it can cause extreme discomfort/pain.

Joints are parts of the skeletal system where two bones come together. Usually we think of joints being there to provide movement, but some joints are only partially movable or cannot move at all.

Ligaments and tendons are bands of tissue that connect parts together - ligaments hold bones together, and tendons connect bones to the muscles surrounding them.

Orthopedic surgeons are surgeons that specialize in the surgery, treatment, and diagnostics of all things bones. They can offer preventive care as well as regular treatment, and many orthopedic surgeons subspecialize in things like pediatrics and oncology.

The skeletal system is mostly comprised of bones, which have three main layers - the periosteum, the compact bone, and the spongy bone. The periosteum is the tough outer layer of the bone, and the membrane helps protect the inside of the bone. The compact bone is also hard and it provides extra support to the bone. The spongy bone is the soft inside of the bone and it contains bone marrow.

Even though they usually work in hospital settings, orthopedic surgeons can also be employed at universities, work at private practices, or even work on the sidelines of sports fields. Depending on the environment one chooses, this field can either be very intense and high-pressure or more relaxed.

The skeletal system has a variety of important functions. It aids in movement and works in tandem with muscles and joints in order to helps us move around, bone marrow produces our vital red and white blood cells, it stores minerals such as calcium, and it helps keep our organs from moving around inside our bodies.

Osteoporosis is a condition where the bone becomes very brittle and easily breakable. It's very common in older people, and it happens when bone tissue doesn't regenerate as fast as it is destroyed. It can cause many bothersome symptoms such as back pain, reduced height, and extremely fragile bones.

Osteoporosis affects many people around the world, and celebrities are no exception. Famous actress Gwenyth Paltrow is very open about her osteopenia (the precursor to osteoporosis) and her treatment for it. After suffering a tibial plateau fracture, she was treated and scans revealed that her bone tissue was scarily low. She quips that her treatment includes taking "prescription strength [levels] of Vitamin D" and "going out in the sun."
