Protects the internal organs.
Allows for stronger muscles.
Allows for greater speed.
Protects the brain and spinal column.
Take these, and a few ideas, and put them in your own words. If you just take an essay from one of us, your teacher will know, and you'll get one of YOUR bones broken!

The Human Skeleton
The skeleton is the armature and the understructure which defines the human body. Leonardo da Vinci realized the importance of the skeleton which he sketched over and over.
The Skeletal Structure: One can use elements from the underlying structure of the body to draw more proportionate figures. The best way to use the skeleton is to first draw the skeleton from different views. Then look for places where the skeleton is evident when drawing the figure.
The skull has the same proportions as the head. One can find the eye sockets halfway between the top of the head and the chin.
The collar bone (clavicle) protrudes enough that it is easy to see when drawing the figure.
The shoulder blades (scapulae) are also easy to discern in the upper half of the back. The shoulder blades are important to activate and add interest to the back which has very subtle variations.
The top edge of the pelvic bone (iliac crest) shows up to give an indication of the placement of the legs and lower torso.
The knee (patella) and ankle bone (inferior extremity of the tibia) both protrude enough for careful observation.
Do a search on the internet with either ask.com or google it.

In simple terms if our bodies didn't have a skeletal structure or any bones, we'd be just a blob with no shape or anything and we would not be able to stand, walk, move properly, talk, chew food etc. It would be impossible for humans or any mammals to do without bones.

I can't tell you exactly what to write but I would go along the lines of "the skeleton keeps all your organs in place" You would kind or rattle around without it and be falling over all day. You would be more like a molusc without a skeleton.

our skeleton had a backbone an central nervous sytem, it is essentially an exoskeleton allowing us do do physical tasks, which without it, we would find almost impossible to do.
skeletons allwo us to walk upright, and it suports the (other) organs and limbs, and protects our vital organs behind a bone shield. (ribcage)

We're not going to do your homework for you for 10 points. £100 maybe but not 10 points.
