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).

of the four components of the health care system, which component's goal is to make a profit while providing high quality care?
Artyom0805 [142]

ACA - The Affordable Care Act

The main goal is to increase access of health care and make it more affordable, mainly for those who were previously uninsured. All US citizens and legal residents are required to have health insuance or pay a fine. The two main avenues that covers the unisured are expansion of Medicaid and purchase of subsidized private health insurance through government-ran exchanges.

Insurance companies are required to include coverage for a variety of health care services. ACA fails to achieve universal coverage and may also not successfully achieve access for a large segment of the US population. It promises to shift focus from disease treatment to disease prevention and improved health outcome, however, additional responsibilities are placed on providers to deliver services in a more coordinated manner while improving the quality of care.
