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.

What are of the main roles of the skeletal system?

The skeleton is made up of various bones and provides the framework for the body. Thus, the skeleton provides the basic shape and structure of the body. The 5 primary functions of the skeletal system are: 1. Support 2. Storage of minerals (calcium) and lipids (yellow marrow) 3. Blood cell production (red marrow) 4. Protection 5. Leverage (force of motion)

Information on the skeletal system?

The skeletal system consists of bones and joints. The skeletal system serves many important functions. It provides shape and form for our bodies and it also provides the functions for our bodies. It supports and protects the body. The skeletal system allows bodily movement. It produces blood for the body. It also stores minerals. The human skeletal system is made up of 206 bones. These bones are made of living tissues that store calcium and other minerals. They also make blood cells. Bones consists of cells surrounded by a matrix. This matrix consists of about 35 percent protein and about 65 percent mineral salts. This combination makes bone 5 times stronger than steel. THE skeletal
