Gives shape and support, protect internal organs, major muscles are attached and help them move, blood cells are in center, and stores calcium inside for later use.

A. Support
The skeleton provides the framework for the body. Bones provide the basic shape and structure for the body. What do you think we would look like if we didn't have bones? Pretty silly right? The bones are like the beams inside of a building, and all of our organs, muscles and skin are organized around the bones, just like the walls of a building. The mandible and maxilla support the tooth. Bones of the lower of the lower limbs, pelvis and vertebral column hold up the body.

B. Protection
The skeleton protects organs in the body. Bones can cover and protect many of out major organs. They are like an armor that protects our insides.
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





C. Blood Cell Production.
Inside of the long bones in our bodies, there is a cavity that is filled with a substance called Bone Marrow. In this tissue, new blood cells are produced, and damaged blood cells are repaired. Red bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells and other blood elements.

D. Movement.
The bones are the levers that help the body move in different directions and in different ways. The bones by themselves can't move without the muscles that are connected to them.

E. Mineral Storage.
Mineral is a substance that the body needs to carry out all of our bodily functions like thinking, breathing and moving around. One of the minerals that the body needs is calcium. Calcium is a major part of bone, and this is where the body stores its calcium. It is very important to make sure you eat enough calcium each day because if you don't get enough calcium, your body will take the calcium it needs from your bones. The less calcium the bone has, the weaker it will become.

3.so you can move
4.major muscles are attached to the bones
5.it is where blood cells are formed.

Nicole said...

1.The skeleton gives shape and support to your body.
2.Bones protect Your internal organs.For example your ribs protect your heart and lungs, and the skull encloses the brain.
3.Major muscles are attached to bone and help them move.
4.Blood cells are formed in the center of many bones in soft tissue called red marrow.
5.Major quantities of calcium and phosphorous compounds are stored in the skeleton for later use.Calcium and phosphorous make bones hard.

SammyG said...

there are many different functions in the skeletal system. one, the skeleton gives shape and support to your body. two, bones protect your internal organs, for example, the skull is protects the brain, and the ribs protect vital organ like the lungs and heart. three, major muscles attach to bones and help them move. four, red blood cells are formed in the center of many bones in a soft tissue called red marrow. and five, major quantities of calcium and phosphorous compounds are stored in the skeleton for later use, calcium and phosphorous make bones hard. those are five functions of the skeletal system.

Well,the ribs protect your heart and lungs.The entire skeleton helps to give your body shape,or else you'd be like a balloon that's losing air.The skull protects the brain.And that;s all I can remember.

The first of the five major functions of the skeletal system is to provide the structure of your body. The second is to protect all of your oh so important organs. The skeletal structure is also responsible for creating red blood cells. The skeletal structure also helps you move. It also stores minerals.
