As an esthetician, understanding the Skeletal System provides critical knowledge about the body's framework, movement, and common conditions that may affect client mobility and treatment positions. This episode of Esthetics Crash Course by Esthetics Magazine gives you the foundation you need.

You'll explore:

• Skeletal Structure: Learn the difference between the Axial Skeleton (skull, spine, ribs) and the Appendicular Skeleton (limbs, shoulders, hips). We cover the four main bone types: Long (support/movement), Flat (protection, e.g., skull, ribs), Short (stability), and Irregular (complex shapes, e.g., vertebrae).

• Bone Functions: Discover how bones provide structural support and protection to vital organs, act as mineral reservoirs, and anchor skeletal muscles for movement. Learn about bone marrow and its crucial role in hematopoiesis (producing red and white blood cells).

• Bones of the Body: Get familiar with key facial and extremity bones, from the cranium and facial bones to the humerus, femur (the body's longest and strongest), and the bones of the hands and feet.

• Common Conditions: Understand significant bone and joint conditions like Osteoporosis (low bone mass/density), Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis (joint inflammation), Fractures, and Osteomyelitis (bone infection). This knowledge is vital for safe client handling and recognizing when medical referral is necessary.

This information is essential for conducting safe, effective, and professional services, especially when dealing with client positioning and manual therapies.
