1 - Support
Provides structural support for the entire body.

2 - Protection
Surrounds soft tissue- ex. ribs and sternum protect the heart and lungs, - skull protects the brain.

3 - Movement
Skeletal muscle is attached to bone so it pulls on the bone when it contracts.

Red bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells and other blood elements.

6 - Storage
Storage of minerals and lipids(fats)---yellow marrow stores fat --(found in long bones).

The fund also support those who die in the accidents in respect of supporting their funerals and bearing the expenses. If someone who is the sole bread-winner for a household dies in an accident (not causing himself the accident) the fund supports the household also.

The platform has helped built pedestrians sidewalks, cross-ways above the highways to lessen and eventually end the accidents and fatalities which are caused when people try to cross the roads. In addition to that the government has also supplied telephones with roadways to help those driver who face a break down on the road.
