Chapter 5, Problem 5SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The skeletal system is composed of bones, cartilage, and connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons. It helps in the movement, support, protection, production of blood cells, and storage of calcium. The primary function of bones is to provide structural support to the soft connective tissues. These contribute in hematopoiesis and function as storage reserves for minerals.
