Skeletal System Quiz

What is the function of the skeletal system that gives us our human shape and features?

• Allows movement

• Produces blood cells

• Protects and supports organs

• Gives us our human shape and features

What is the purpose of the diaphysis in a long bone?

• To articulate with another bone

• To provide cushioning and shock absorption for the joint

• To form the ends of a long bone

What is the function of cancellous bone in the skeletal system?

• Produces blood cells

• Facilitates shock absorption, reduces weight, and enables metabolic exchange

• Stores minerals

• Provides strength, support, and protection

Where is the location of red marrow in long bones?
