What are the 6 functions of the skeleton
Movement Support Shape Protection Blood cell production Mineral storage
What’s the function of movement
And where does it take place
So bone can move on muscles contract and pull on the bone
It takes place at the joints
What is the function of blood cell production
How are red blood cells and white bloods cells important
So blood cells are produced inside the blood marrow
RBC in aerobic activities to carry oxygen to working muscles
WBC fight off infection
What is the function of the skeletal system support
To support muscles and vital organs
What is the function of the skeletal system shape
Maintain basic body shape and points of attachement
How is storage of minerals a function of the skeletal system
Minerals are kept inside the body and bones which is essential for major body functions and it plays a major role in physical activity
What’s the function of protection in the skeletal system
Protection of vital organs by the flat bones e.g. Lungs by the ribs
What are the functions of short bones
Enable fine controlled movement
What is the function of long bones
They enable gross large movement
What are the functions of flat bones
They are large and protect vital organs
What are the functions of irregular bones
They are specifically shaped to protect
