Best Answer

A. Support

The skeleton provides the framework for the body. Bones provide the basic shape and structure for the body. What do you think we would look like if we didn't have bones? Pretty silly right? The bones are like the beams inside of a building, and all of our organs, muscles and skin are organized around the bones, just like the walls of a building. The mandible and maxilla support the tooth. Bones of the lower of the lower limbs, pelvis and vertebral column hold up the body.

B. Protection

The skeleton protects organs in the body. Bones can cover and protect many of out major organs. They are like an armor that protects our insides.1. cranium: protects the brain

2. ribs/sternum: protects the lungs, heart and some digestive organs

3. pelvis: protects and supports the digestive and reproductive organs

4. spinal column: protects the spine

C. Blood Cell Production.

Inside of the long bones in our bodies, there is a cavity that is filled with a substance called Bone Marrow. In this tissue, new blood cells are produced, and damaged blood cells are repaired. Red bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells and other blood elements.

D. Movement.

The bones are the levers that help the body move in different directions and in different ways. The bones by themselves can't move without the muscles that are connected to them.

E. Mineral Storage.

Mineral is a substance that the body needs to carry out all of our bodily functions like thinking, breathing and moving around. One of the minerals that the body needs is calcium. Calcium is a major part of bone, and this is where the body stores its calcium. It is very important to make sure you eat enough calcium each day because if you don't get enough calcium, your body will take the calcium it needs from your bones. The less calcium the bone has, the weaker it will become.

F. Fat Storage.

Triglyceride (fat) is stored in the form of yellow bone marrow in the medullary cavity of bone. This fat is used by body as a source of energy whenever required.

the skeleton has five major functions. it provides shape and support, enables you to move, protects your organs, produces blood cells, and stores minerals and other materials until your body needs them

1. Shape

2. Blood production.

3. Support.

4. Protection.

5. Lever System.

6. Attachment of muscles.

7. Didier Drogba

Didier Yves Drogba Tébily[2] (born 11 March 1978 in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire) is an Ivorian footballer who plays in the centre forward position. He currently plays for Chelsea in the English Premier League and is the captain and all-time leading scorer of the Côte d'Ivoire national football team. He scored more goals for Chelsea than any other foreign player and is currently Chelsea's ninth highest goal scorer of all time.

As a young child Drogba moved to France. After playing in youth teams, Drogba made his professional debut aged 18 for Ligue 2 club Le Mans. A late bloomer, he signed his first professional contract aged 21 but it was not until the 2002-03 season that he realised his potential, scoring 17 goals in 34 appearances in Ligue 1 for Guingamp. During the same season he made his first international appearance for Côte d'Ivoire in September and scored his first international goal the following February. He moved to Olympique de Marseille in 2003 for £3.3 million and his prolific ways continued, finishing as the third highest scorer in the league with 19 goals and making it to the 2004 UEFA Cup Final.

Drogba moved to Chelsea the following season for a record breaking fee of £24 million, making him the most expensive Côte d'Ivoire player in history. In addition, Drogba scored decisive goals in the 2005 FA Community Shield and League Cup Final and helped the club win their first ever Premier League title. Drogba came to prominence as one of the world's foremost strikers in 2006 as he won the league title with Chelsea again and captained the national team for the first time. In the 2006 World Cup he scored Côte d'Ivoire's first ever goal of the competition and he was chosen as the 2006 African Footballer of the Year. The next season he finished as top scorer in the 2006-07 Premier League with 20 goals and also scored the winning goals in the 2007 League Cup and FA Cup finals.

Away from the pitch, Drogba is known for his charity work and was appointed by the United Nations Development Programme as a Goodwill Ambassador in 2007. He has three children with his Malian wife, Alla.

  • Support- framework for body
  • Protects organs
  • Produces blood cells
  • Attachment for tendons/ligaments/muscles
  • Storage for mineral deposits
  • Movement- skeletal muscles attach to the skeleton by tendons, and the skeleton provides leverage for movement

The functions of the skeletal system include providing support, creating/producing blood cells, allowing movement, protecting internal organs, storage of minerals, and storage of energy. The skeletal system provides support by forming the basic framework for the body to which muscles attach. Blood cells are made in the bone marrow inside of bones. The skeletal system assists with movement by giving the muscles something to attach to. When muscles contact they pull on the bone that they are attached to, creating movement. The skeletal system protects internal organs mostly by creating a barrier between them and the outside world, for example, the ribs protect the lungs and heart and the skull protects the brain. Minerals such as calcium and phosphorous are stored in the bones. These minerals can be released into the bloodstream if needed. The skeletal system stores energy mostly in the form of fat cells in the bone marrow.
