The skeleton provides structure and serves as a framework for the body. It is comprised of 206 bones that allow the skeleton to protect and support internal organs and body tissue. Common diseases that can affect the skeletal system include osteoporosis and leukemia. Hormones, such as estrogen, can also affect bones, especially when women reach menopause, which can lead to osteoporosis. Interestingly, bones can produce hormones as well. Osteoblasts are cells that synthesize bone. They can also produce the hormone osteocalcin in an inactive form that has been found to affect how we metabolize sugar and fat.
