Skeletal Functions

What are the five functions of the skeletal system ?


68 comments:

  1. The skeleton gives shape and support to your body, bones protect internal organs, major muscles are attached to bones and help them move, blood cells are formed in the center of many bones in soft tissue called red marrow, many quantities of calcium and phosphorous compounds are stored in the skeleton for later use, Calcium and phosphorous make bones hard.

  3. The five functions are:
    *to protect your organs
    *to give your body shape
    *to move your muscles
    *to create blood cells
    I don't know the other one.

  4. Shape, Support, Movement, Protection, and Blood Cell Production and Storage are five functions of the skeletal system.

  5. 1. Support - it provides the framework of the body and supports the softer tissues, and provides points of attachment for most muscles.

    2. Protection - provides physical protection for many of the organs, e.g. ribcage-lungs, skull-brain.

    3. Movement - bones are attached to muscles, so when the muscles contract/relax this causes the bones to move. The bones are also anchors for joints, e.g. elbow.

    4. Mineral Storage - bones store many minerals including Calcium and Phosphorus. These minerals are released from the bones when required, helping to maintain the balance of minerals in the body.

    5. Blood Cell Production - some larger bones contain red bone marrow, where red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are produced.

    6. Chemical Energy Storage - some ree bone marrow changes to yellow bone marrow, which is mainly made up of adipose cells and a few blood cells. It is an important chemical energy reserve.

  6. 1. cranium: protects the brain
    2. ribs/sternum: protects the lungs, heart and some digestive organs
    3. pelvis: protects and supports the digestive and reproductive organs
    4. spinal column: protects the spine
    ribcage: protects the heart and lungs

    they are
    protect vital organs
    storage of calcium
    movement via muscle attachment
    provide shape
    production of blood cells
    -Gives the body its shape -Protects the vital organs -Allows for movement -Stores minerals and produces blood cells

  10. The skeletal system is divided into two parts, the axial skeleton and perpendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton includes the skull, spinal column, ribs and sternum. The perpendicular skeleton includes all upper and lower extremities, the shoulder girdle and the pelvic girdle. Bones come in four main shapes, long, short, flat and irregular and are composed of webs of collagen fibers reinforced with calcium and phosphorous. The collagen provides flexibility while the minerals provide tensile strength. The skeletal system has five main functions in the body, three of which are external and visible to the naked eye, and two of which are internal. The external functions are: structure, movement and protection. The internal functions are: blood cell production and storage.

  11. The five functions are 1.) the skeleton gives shape and support to your body. 2.) Your bones protect your internal organs. 3.) Major muscles are attached to banes to make them move. 4.) Blood cells are formed in the center of many bones in the soft tissue called Marrow. 5.) Major quantities of Calcium Phosphorous compounds are stored in the skeleton for later use.

  54. 1.Bones are alive inside of you, the skeletal system has 5 basic functions. 1 Structure/shape.
    2. Protect, the ribcage protects your organs.
    3. Muscles can not function without bones.
    4. Blood/ red blood cells, red blood cells are formed inside of the bone or bone marrow.
    5. Bones have 2 major minerals, calcium and phosphorus.
