What are four functions of the skeletal system ?

Answer 1

Great question!

Simply the skeletal system plays an important role for the human body. The four functions of this system are:

1. Support: Gives structure to the body to allow for attachment of the tissues and organs.
2. Protection: Provides safeguarding of the internal organs to include the brain, heart, lungs and abdominal structures.
3. Movement: Allows attachments for the various muscles of the body to provide locomotion.
4. Supply: Creates red and white blood cells through the bone marrow found within various bones of the skeleton.

Hope this helps! Cheers!
