The human anatomy has more than 300 bones at the time of birth which later combines to form the adult and develop skeletal anatomy. An adult Homo sapiens has 206 bones in his body, and in this structure, each bone has a specific location and a specific task to perform. Our bones make our structure and the basic framework of our human body and our skeletal anatomy, its function is not just to support the human structure but also to protect the inner vital organs as well as promoting in locomotion. It helps us in performing various compound movements as well as lifting heavy objects and carrying a load for a long time.

Bones are made up of an element called calcium which begins to develop even before we take birth. This makes intake of calcium-rich diet and calcium-rich foods very much necessary and essential for us and for the healthy keep-going of our skeletal system. The deficiency of significant vitamins and minerals can make our bones prone to injury and damage. Calcium deficiency can make our bones porous and make them more precarious to get broken badly even at a very mild accident.
