Question

question 27
important functions of the skeletal system include:
a regulation of acid - base balance
b protection of the brain and soft organs
c storage of water
d production of vitamin e
e integration of other systems

Explanation:

The skeletal system's main functions include support, movement facilitation, protection (e.g., skull protects the brain, rib - cage protects soft organs like the heart and lungs), mineral storage (not water storage), and blood cell production. Acid - base balance regulation is mainly by the kidneys and lungs. Vitamin E is obtained from diet (e.g., nuts, seeds) not produced by the skeletal system. Integration of systems is more of a nervous and endocrine system role.

Answer:

B. protection of the brain and soft organs
