Question
Chapter 6, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The function of skeletal system is
(a) Support
(b) Hematopoietic site
(c) Storage
(d) Providing levers for muscle activity
(e) All of these
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1MC
Solution:
(e) All of these: The function of the skeletal system is to provide lever to the muscles. Bones are the hematopoietic sites. They store nutrients and support the body.
Explanation of Solution
The skeletal system in humans consists of 206 bones and a network of tendons and ligaments. The main functions of this system include the movement, support, protection, formation of various blood cells as well as the storage of calcium and other nutrients in the matrix, and endocrine regulation by releasing the hormone known as osteocalcin.
