What are the functions of the skeletal system?
2 Answers
Support, movement, protection, blood production, and shape.
Explanation:
The cranium protects the brain, and the ribcage protects the vital organs in the chest, such as the heart and lungs.
The muscles that are connected to the bones, which are jointed, by tendons and ligaments allow for movement by contracting and relaxing, and in doing so, they move the bones.
The skeleton gives your body its shape and makes it tall or short.
Some bones produce red blood cells that carry oxygen, and white blood cells to fight infection in their bone marrow. The bones that produce the red blood cells are the flat bones, such as the hip bone, and the breast bone.
The skeleton provides support by keeping all of the vital organs in place during physical activity, and the spinal column holds the body upright.
