Functions of the Skeletal System
1. Support – It provides the framework which
supports and maintains shape of the body. It gives
the body much needed support.
2. Protection – It protects the internal organ of the
body.
3. Movement – It provides an attachment for the
muscle which makes body movements possible.
4. Storage and Supply – It stores important minerals
like calcium and phosphorus and produces both
red and white blood cells.
