How is your skeletal system like a factory?

Your skeletal system can be compared to a factory because it provides structure and support for your body, like the framework of a building. It also produces red blood cells, stores minerals and releases them when needed, similar to how a factory stores and distributes raw materials. Additionally, just like a factory, the bones in your skeletal system work together in a coordinated manner to help you move efficiently.
