To support the body. If we had no skeleton we would just be a mass of flesh and organs on the floor, unable to function, and would probably mean a quick death due to pressure on vital organs
how does the respiratory system contribute to your overall health
Digestion.
Cows have a skeletal system much like people. The purpose of the skeletal system is to support the skin, muscles and organs of the cow.
The Mandible* is the jawbone and its purpose is to grind and chew food
The skeletal system are your bones.

the skeletal system is a system in the body .
The skeletal system provides a framework for muscles to attach to and move, allowing for coordinated movement and maintaining posture. Joints in the skeletal system allow for flexibility and range of motion, while bones provide stability and support for muscles to generate force. Overall, the skeletal system works in conjunction with the muscular system to facilitate movement and maintain body structure.
No, the skeletal system does not directly regulate metabolism. Metabolism is primarily regulated by hormones such as thyroid hormones and insulin, as well as factors like diet and exercise. However, the skeletal system does have a role in storing minerals like calcium, which can impact overall metabolic health.
The skeletal system itself is an organ system. Some schemes combine the skeletal system with the muscular system to make the musculoskeletal system.
