Explanation of Solution

The major functions of the skeletal system are as follows:

  • It provides structural support for the entire human body in the form of muscle attachment.
  • It protects the tissues and organs from any injuries.
  • There are many bones of the skeleton that act as levers and are able to change the magnitude and direction of the forces that skeletal muscles generate.
  • It acts as a reservoir for essential minerals such as calcium and phosphate and energy sources such as triglycerides.
  • It serves as a site of production for blood cells in the red bone marrow that is located in the connective tissue of the bones.

We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.
