What are the five functions of skeletal system?

Answer 1

Your skeleton has five major functions. It provides shape and support, enables you to move, protects your organs, produces blood cells (hemopoeisis) and stores minerals and other materials until your body needs them.
The vertebrate skeleton of the human body protects the vital organs, stores calcium and other minerals for when the body needs it, and provides locomotion via contractions from the muscles attached. The skeleton also produces blood cells and most importantly provides the basic structure and support for the human body.~out

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

protection

support

movement

storage of minerals

Blood cell formation (produce blood for body)

Answer 4

blood cells shapes and support the body moves the body with the muscular system,protects the internal organs,stores fat cells,calcium and minerals

Answer 5

The skeletal system has several functions in the body. It provides structural support, protects internal organs, allows bodily movement, produces blood and stores minerals.

Answer 6

Five functions of the skeletal system are support, movement, blood cell production, protection, and calcium storage. The adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones.

Answer 7

I know it protects your organs, gives you shape, and stores minerals and nutrients.

Answer 8

protect internal organs

provide leverage for the the muscles to move

provide a frame work for the body

the marrow makes new blood cells

store minerals
