Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be C) provides support for the body and protects delicate internal organs.

The skeletal system consists of bone, ligaments, cartilages and other tissues.

The main functions of a skeletal system in a human being are:

  • Support: It provides the framework and support to the body which helps in maintaining the shape of the body. For example, lungs would have collapsed in absence of rib cage and associated muscles.
  • Movement: It helps in movement and locomotion of the body.
  • Protection: It protects the internal organs of the body. For example, the skull protects the brain, vertebrate protects the spinal cord et cetera.
  • Blood cell production:  Haematopoiesis mainly occurs in the bone marrow.
  • Storage: It can store minerals like iron and calcium.
  • Endocrine regulation: Osteocalcin released from bone cells contributes to the blood sugar (glucose) regulation and fat deposition.

Is it accurate to define homeostasis as a constant internal environment
kykrilka [37]
No quite.... Homeostasis is the maintenance of constant internal environment 
For example the constant internal temperature of our body is 37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. If our body increases or decreases some changes happens to your body in order to return the normal body temperature. If your freezing your blood vessels near the skin constricts so that the heat running through your blood doesnt leave your body because you are in need of heat.
