Answer 2

The Skeletal System serves many important functions; it provides the shape and form for our bodies in addition to supporting, protecting, allowing bodily movement, producing blood for the body, and storing minerals.

Functions

Its 206 bones form a rigid framework to which the softer tissues and organs of the body are attached.

Vital organs are protected by the skeletal system. The brain is protected by the surrounding skull as the heart and lungs are encased by the sternum and rib cage.

Bodily movement is carried out by the interaction of the muscular and skeletal systems. For this reason, they are often grouped together as the musculo-skeletal system. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. Bones are connected to each other by ligaments. Where bones meet one another is typically called a joint. Muscles which cause movement of a joint are connected to two different bones and contract to pull them together. An example would be the contraction of the biceps and a relaxation of the triceps. This produces a bend at the elbow. The contraction of the triceps and relaxation of the biceps produces the effect of straightening the arm.

Blood cells are produced by the marrow located in some bones. An average of 2.6 million red blood cells are produced each second by the bone marrow to replace those worn out and destroyed by the liver.

Bones serve as a storage area for minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. When an excess is present in the blood, buildup will occur within the bones. When the supply of these minerals within the blood is low, it will be withdrawn from the bones to replenish the supply.

Answer 3

Support: The skeleton is the framework of the body, it supports the softer tissues and provides points of attachment for most skeletal muscles. Protect Soft organs Assisting in Movement: Bones work together with muscles as simple mechanical lever systems to produce body movement. Storage of Minerals: Bone tissues store several minerals, including calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). When required, bone releases minerals into the blood - facilitating the balance of minerals in the body. Production of Blood Cells: The red bone marrow inside some larger bones, blood cells are produced. Storage of Chemical Energy: With increasing age some bone marrow changes from 'red bone marrow' to 'yellow bone marrow'. Yellow bone marrow consists mainly of adipose cells, and a few blood cells. It is an important chemical energy reserve.

Answer 4

1. provides the body its framework
2. attachments for muscles and tendons to allow bodily movement
3 major reservoir for the blood and produces platlets, red blood cells and most white blood cells
4. protects the delicate structures of the body such as the brain and the rest of the central nervous system.

Answer 5

1. support (musculature)
2. protect (internal organs)
3. store (calcium)
4. produce (red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow)
