Main Functions of the skeletal system - --- Body movement— The skeleton provides attachment points
for muscles, permitting leverage and resulting body movement.
- Support— The skeleton provides a rigid framework to which the softer tissues and organs of the body
are attached.
- Protection— The skeleton protects vital internal organs (e.g. brain, heart and lungs)
- Mineral storage—The skeleton provides a storage place for calcium and phosphorus.
- Blood cell formation— The red bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Structure of Bone - --- Epiphysis
- Diaphysis
