The skeletal systems runs through virtually the entire body, allowing it to support the body and absorb shock during motion. However, it also protects several vital organs. The pelvic bones surround the internal reproductive structures and lower abdominal organs, the ribcage protects the digestive system, lungs, and heart, and the skull surrounds the brain.
