Question

select the 5 functions of the skeletal system.

provide shape and support

protect the soft tissues and organs of the body

regulate body temperature

allow movement

store and release materials

make growth hormones

make blood cells

Explanation:

The skeletal system's functions include providing shape and support (bones form the body's framework), protecting soft tissues and organs (e.g., skull protecting the brain), allowing movement (bones act as levers for muscles), storing and releasing materials (such as calcium), and making blood cells (in bone marrow). Regulating body temperature is mainly a function of the integumentary system (skin), and making growth hormones is a function of the endocrine system (e.g., pituitary gland).

Answer:

"provide shape and support", "protect the soft tissues and organs of the body", "allow movement", "store and release materials", "make blood cells"
