Question
a broken bone changes the shape of the bone. which 3 functions of the skeletal system would be affected by a broken bone?
providing shape and support
protecting the soft tissues and organs of the body
allowing movement
storing and releasing materials
making blood cells
A broken bone affects the skeletal system's functions. The skeletal system provides shape and support ($\text{providing shape and support}$), protects soft tissues and organs ($\text{protecting the soft tissues and organs of the body}$), and allows movement ($\text{allowing movement}$). A broken bone disrupts these functions. Making blood cells ($\text{making blood cells}$) is mainly in bone marrow (not directly bone - shape - related). Storing and releasing materials ($\text{storing and releasing materials}$) is a secondary function less affected by a single broken bone compared to the three main ones.
