Best Answer

The bones in the body do a number of things for it. They give support and help the muscles by moving the body when the muscles contract and relax. They protect the brain and some major organs such as the heart and liver.
The bones store calcium, phosphorus and other ions. They also are where blood cells are first formed: red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets (for clotting). Bones also store a certain amount of fat in the long bones. They also give your body a certain shape and form.
