Essential Functions of the Skeletal System: Support, Protection, Storage

The skeletal system, composed of bones, the skull, and vertebrae, provides structural support for our body. It surrounds and protects vital organs like the heart and lungs. When skeletal muscles contract, they pull on bones, allowing movement. Additionally, the system stores essential minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, releasing them when needed. Interacting with the nervous system, bones provide calcium for its proper functioning. Ultimately, the skeletal system forms the body's frame, facilitating movement and storing crucial minerals. Explore the resources listed to deepen your understanding of this fundamental system.

  1. Skeletal System By: Mondraesha Davis & Deavyon Ross

  2. Functions Inside Our Body Include: Support provides structural support for the entire body. Surrounds soft tissue-ribs protects the heart and lungs and the skull protects the brain. The skeletal muscle is attached to the bone so it pulls on the bone when it contracts Stores calcium and phosphorus- the minerals are released into the blood when storage is needed.

  3. Organs in the Skeletal System Includes: Bones, Skull, and Vertebrae.

  4. What the Skeletal System interacts with? The Skeletal System interacts with the Nervous System because bones provides calcium that is for the proper functioning of the Nervous system.

  5. What the Skeletal System makes up? The Skeletal System makes up the frame of the body and allows us to move when our muscles interact. It stores minerals such as Calcium and Phosphorus.
