There are mainly three roles of the skeletal system: protection (the ribs protecting the heart and lungs as an example), as a lever for the muscles to move parts of the body (otherwise we would be a blob of jelly sitting in a dish) and lastly, they make blood (red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets).

The skeletal system provides the framework to support the body.


The organ system that provides support and protection for body parts is the endocrine system or circulatory system or skeletal system or respiratory system?

The skeletal system functions as both a rigid support structure to maintain the body's form as well as a protective structure for body parts such as the bones of the rib cage protecting the chest cavity, or the bones of the skull protecting the brain. Additionally, the skeletal system provides anchors without which the muscular system would be unable to produce movement, and contains bone marrow which is the site of the formation of new blood


What are the internal organs of the skeletal system?

Internal organs and the skeletal system are two different things, so there really is no such thing as "the internal organs of the skeletal system." The skeletal system is responsible for the support of the body and protection of the internal organs, and doesn't have internal organs in itself.
