2. The skull protects the brain from injury
3. The vertebrae protect the spinal cord
4. Sensory receptors in joints between bones send signals about body position to the brain.
5. The brain regulates the position of bones by controlling muscles.

Your nerves go into your bone, I know it sounds crazy but its true, your Skeletal system is mixed with your nerves, it helps you function, without your nerves going into your bones we couldn't be able to feel if a bone is hurting or if you are getting hurt without your nerves you couldn't feel pain your nerves help you feel pain and where the pain is coming from.
