The rib cage (actually made of many bones) protects your vital organs. The spine (also made of many vertebra) keeps the body in posture and holds the spinal cord, which sends messages from your brain to the rest of your body. The cranium (again made of many bones) protects the brain.

Cartilage acts as a cushion and reduces the friction between the bones and in some cases holds bones together, like rib cartilage. Cartilage is found in between bones, in the nose, ears and intervertebral discs just to name a few.
The study of bones and the skeleton is called osteology. This branch of anthropology and anatomy focuses on the structure, function, and development of bones, as well as their role in the human body and in various species. Osteologists often work in fields such as archaeology, forensic science, and medicine.
Another name for long bones is tubular bones. These bones are longer than they are wide and are found in the arms and legs.
The fibrous protein found in bones is called collagen. It provides strength and structure to bones, helping to maintain their integrity and support.
