The function of the skeleton is as follows:

1.Support:It supports ligaments, tendons and organs in doing their jobs, and ensures all of those structures don’t fall apart

2.Protection:It protects internal organs

3.Movement:If it weren’t for bones, muscles wouldn’t be able to move anything, as it’s bones they tug on in order to move our bodies around!

4.Breathing:This is a very underestimated function of the skeleton. The ribs, clavicles and sternum move alongside the lungs and helps the lungs expand and contract

5.Production of red blood cells:The bone marrow of large bones create red blood cells to be put into the circulation

6.Storage of minerals:Bones store minerals like calcium and hydroxylapatite

7.Endocrine regulation:Calcium homeostasis/regulation is largely dependent on bones as they serve as a reservoir for calcium. And when blood calcium levels are low, parathyroid hormone is released from the parathyroid gland which causes calcium to move from bones to blood. This is a simplification of calcium homeostasis but is good enough!

it provides balance, support, protection, and movement of a body

It provide support our body to move,walk and another activity.

The human skeleton performs six major functions; support,movement,protection,productionof blood cells,storageofminerals, andendocrine regulation.

1)supports ligament,tendons2)protect internal organs3)movement of bones4)breathing5)production of rbc6)storage of minerals7)endocrine regulation

it gives shape and rigidity to our body
