Best Answer

The skeletal system has three main functions: to provide shape and support to your body, to give a place for muscles to attach (muscles attach to the bone by tendons), and to produce your red blood cells (red blood cells are produced in the marrow). The bones of the skeleton attach to one another by ligaments, which are very strong "strings" that stretch from one bone to another in the joints (knee, elbow, etc.).
