ANAT 150 Chapter 7 Lecture Notes Flashcards
Functions of the Skeleton System
- Protects organs (cranium of skull protects brain)
- Mineral storage (calcium & phosphate called hydroxyapatite)
- Body movements (in conjunction with muscular & nervous systems)
- Body support (blood cell production: erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes)
