Question 12

List the functions of the skeleton and relate to sport

Answer 12

Support(keep vital organs in place and hold up muscles)- bicep is attached to arm= bicep curl

Movement- to walk, femur, tibia, fibula are being pulled on by muscles via tendons to move

Mineral storage- bones store calcium so when I play ruby, my bones don’t break as often because I drink milk

Blood cell production- my white blood cells stop me being sick allowing me to play more matches

Protection- flat bones e.g ribs protects my lungs when I get tackled in rugby

Structure and shape- determine height and build so I can be lifted in a line if I’m tall
