The skeletal system performs essential functions in the body. It provides structural support, giving shape to the body and anchoring muscles for movement.
Bones protect vital organs, such as the brain, heart, and lungs, from injury.
Additionally, the osseous system is a reservoir for minerals like calcium and phosphorus, important for bodily processes. Bone marrow within bones produces blood cells, contributing to the body’s blood supply and immune response.
The osseous system supports movement, protection, mineral storage, blood cell production, and overall structural integrity, ensuring the body’s stability and function.
