We would simply be masses of skin, organs, blood, and useless muscles (they have no bones to move) in a heap on the ground.Shape and SupportMovementProductionStorageProtectionThe main function of skeleton is to support the muscles of the body through the tendons which serve as a connection between muscles and bones. It gives shape to our body.The bones contain nearly 85% of calcium.It plays a considerable role in immunity by containing the bone marrow which produces the WBCThe functions of a skeleton areMovment-the movement of bonesstorage-bones store marrowstructure-the bones fit together to make a skeleton and without the skeleton we wouldn't have structure and would be a ball.protection-the bones protect the organs inside them eg.The ribs protect the heart, intestines and liver.The functions of the skeleton are, Movement, Protection for your vital organs, Support and to make blood.Support, movement, protection, storage of minerals, and produces blood.Support, Protection, Movement, Mineral Storage, and HematopoiesisIt's actually homeostasis. What the flip is Hematopoiesis?! And actually the functions are:1.Support the body2.Provide Proection3.Enable Movement4.Store MineralsAnd the one you got wrong. . .5. Make red and white blood cellsIf you don't know the answer, then don't even try to answer the question! the function of the skeleton is to support the body and the weighthere are a few functions...1) protection of organs eg. the ribs protect the heart2) movement it provides joints e.g the ball and socket in the shoulder3) Storage - storing vitamins and calcium 4) support to skin and other overlying organsProtection, support, movement and mineral storage. so our body can stand up straight. so our body can stand up straight.
