Question

question 18
which of the following is/are functions of the skeletal system?
a responsible for the production of blood cells
b all of the above
c the storage of inorganic minerals like calcium ions and phosphorus ions
d the protection of organs, especially in the head and thorax

Explanation:

The skeletal system has multiple functions. Red bone marrow within bones is responsible for the production of blood cells (hematopoiesis). Bones store important inorganic minerals such as calcium and phosphorus ions. The skeletal system also provides protection to vital organs; for example, the skull protects the brain (head) and the rib - cage protects the heart and lungs (thorax). Since all the options A, C, and D are correct functions of the skeletal system, option B (all of the above) is the right choice.

Answer:

B. all of the above
