          Functions of Skeleton:

1. Protection - the cranium and ribs protect the brain and vital organs in the chest.
2. Shape - gives shape to the body and makes you tall or short.
3. Support - holds your vital organs in place when playing sport. The vertebral column holds the body upright.
4. Movement - muscle are attached to bones, which are jointed. When the muscles contract the bones move.
5. Blood production - red blood cells (to carry oxygen) and white blood cells (to protect against infection) are produced in the bone marrow of some bones.
