Bones serve multiple critical functions in the human body. They provide structural support, giving shape to the body and anchoring muscles for movement. Bones protect delicate internal organs, such as the brain, heart, and lungs.
They act as a reservoir for minerals like calcium and phosphorus, vital for various bodily processes. Bone marrow within bones produces blood cells, including red blood cells for oxygen transport and white blood cells for immune defense.
Through these functions, bones contribute to overall body stability, protection, movement, mineral balance, and blood cell formation, maintaining homeostasis and enabling various physiological processes.
