I just learned this in anatomy and physiology. The skeleton has many functions.
1) it is the supporting framework
2) it is for protection
3) it is a reservoir for calcium and phosphorus
4) it manufactures Red Blood Cells
5) it is a storage site for adipose tissue
6) the bones with joints are levers for movement

The skeletal system provides support and protection for the vital soft tissues of the body. The skeletal structures participate in the formation of blood and in the storage of inorganic salts. They act together with the musclular system to make body movements possible.
