In addition to providing the structure for the body, the skeletal system has many other important functions...

Body shape
Supporting the weight of your body, the skeleton is also the anchor for all tissue connecting to it.
Movement
Your joints, connective tissue, and muscles all work together to enable movement of the body
Protection
Being like a "built in suit of armor", the human skeleton serves as protection for all internal organs throughout your body.
Blood cells
The bone marrow in the very center of your bone produces red and white blood cells that are critical for your body
Storing minerals
The bones that this system consists of hold the body's important supply of minerals including calcium and vitamin D.

The Skeletal system is your body's support structure; giving your body it's shape, allowing movement, making blood cells, and providing protection for your organs as well as storing minerals. This system plays a vital role in protection and enabling movement.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes the bones to become weak and brittle. This disease occurs when the creation of new bone cannot keep up with the loss of old bone. With such weak and brittle bones, the risk of break and damage is much higher.

Sally Field

Sally Field, being a strong woman herself and playing various roles of strong women, endures her bone-thinning battle. Around her 60th birthday she had been diagnosed with this "silent" disease. Advancing quickly, this disease discouraged and threatened many aspects of her life. "But I was amazed at how quickly a woman could go from being at risk to having full-fledged osteoporosis." This disease was in full flight, the scariest part was the fact that she had no symptoms or signs to suggest anything was wrong. However, Sally never let this disease define or overcome her strength. This renown oscar-winning actress then went on to take on a new roll, in which she began her "Rally with Sally for bone health" advocation. "When I discovered there were things I could do to improve my bone health, I was so relieved. For me, treating my osteoporosis means I can strengthen my bones and continue an active lifestyle without being afraid of a fracture." Sally created her osteoporosis awareness campaign in which she shared everything she had learned in order to help others who are struggling with this disease. "We've never been willing to sit back and take anything, and that includes this disease. We're going to do everything we can to take action and protect ourselves." Being the extremely strong woman Sally Field is, she took this opportunity to fight back against this disease as well as help others in need.
