The skeletal system serves multiple functions, including providing structural support, protecting internal organs, facilitating movement, maintaining mineral homeostasis, producing blood cells, and storing minerals and lipids. It acts as a storage site for calcium and phosphorus, releasing them into the bloodstream as needed. Additionally, the red bone marrow is responsible for the production of various blood elements.

- 1. Which of these is a function of the skeletal system? communication system creation of the structural framework within soft organs of the body storage site for calcium removal of old or damaged blood cells Solution Answer: storage site of calcium Explanation: The followings are the function 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)
