The bones act as pillars to support the body trunk when we stand. What function of bone does this match?

• Protection
• Movement
• Storage
• Support

How do Calcium and Phosphorus relate to the skeletal system?

• Calcium and Phosphorus are made by the skeletal sytem
• Calcium and Phosphorus are stored in the skeletal system
• Calcium and Phosphorus are toxic to the skeletal system
• There is no connection between the skeletal system, Calcium and Phosphorus

This image shows what type of important function of the skeletal system

• storage

• movement

• protection

• blood cell formation

The bone marrow is the site for?

• storage of calcium

• formation of blood cells

• muscles attachment

• formation of calcium and phosphorus

Muscles would be useless without the skeletal system. Why?

• muscle attaches to bone to allow for movement
• the skeleton can not move without the muscular system
• we can walk, swim, throw a ball, and breathe because of bone and muscles
• these are all reason why

What type of bone do we find making up the diaphysis?

• spongy bone
• compact bone
• rigid bone
• soft bone
