How is the skeletal system related to other systems in the body?

Answer 1

The skeleton provides the main framework, the shape and integrity of the body.

If there was no skeleton, the body and its musculature would all lie as one big heap of muscle and tissue on the floor - a great big blob!

Muscles attach to the various parts of the skeleton, which allow you to move 'arms, legs, etc.' W/O the skeleton, muscles could not act.

It also allows channels and tunnels for the circulatory vessels and nervous tissue to pass.

Bones also act protectively. Perhaps the most obvious case of this is in the form of the rib cage, which protects heart and lungs - organs vital for very life itself. Some less known protection resides in that provided for the large arteries and nerves that pass under the arm pits and on the insides of the arm. Likewise, in the lower extremities, the hip bone, thigh bone [upper femur] and lower sacrum at the back protect bowels, vitals and large arteries and nerves that pass down the insides of the legs. The skull is one big protective mechanism.

Further, bone tissue supplies blood cells for the circulation and aids the immune system.
It gives support and shape to the body.

Answer 2

it works with the musclular system to have the ability to carry something and it works with the nervous system to send signals to your brain and back. The skeletal system is the system that supports the body. The skeletal system holds the other systems of the body together. It works with the Muscular system to allow us to move

Answer 3

1. Movement. 2. Body shape (gives your body shape). 3. Production of cells (in the bone marrow). 4. Protection of vital organs. 5. Supports the body.

Answer 4

As you know, The skeletal system is the bones. it is a part of your body as the other systems

Answer 5

you need the skeletal system because it holds us up and gives us shape and size.

Answer 6

It provides a supportive framework and protects internal organs.

Answer 7

So the system can function correctly, as well as many others. Muscular, ciculatory, etc...

Answer 8

skeletal system affects other body systems in many ways. such as it affects circulatory system because red blood marrow in bone bone makes blood

Answer 9

for movement
