Skeletal system 11/1

Define this major function 
Shape and Support 

• Red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow found in many bones.
• It is our body's framework. It provides shape for our body, holds our vital organs in place and allows us to have a good posture.
• Our muscles are attached to our bones in a way which allows movement.
• It protects our delicate organs e.g. - the SKULL protects the BRAIN, and the RIB CAGE protects the HEART and LUNGS etc…

The five functions of the skeletal system are

• Protection, Shape &

• Red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow found in many bones.
• minerals like calcium are stored in the bones to add strength

Blood Production

• Red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow found in many bones.
• carry oxygen to the muscles to enable them to work. They are red in colour because they carry haemoglobin.
• fight infection in the body.
• minerals like calcium are stored in the bones to add strength
