There's six main functions of the skeletal system

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.

4 - Mineral homeostasis
Stores calcium and phosphorus--minerals are released into the blood when needed.

5 - Blood cell production
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).

What does the word love mean?
Alchen [17]


Love is a very contradictory word. It can mean many things, depending on how you look at it. Of course, I don't love my boyfriend the way I love my dog, but I do feel affection towards both of them. To me, love is when you have feelings for something or someone that you just can't describe. It is a wonderful thing.


Hope this helped!!! :)
