1. It supports the body and helps us maintain our posture;
2. It protects organs. For example, the skull protects the

3. Bones also help us move together with muscles and
joints;
4. Another function is blood cell production in the bone
marrow. Bones also store minerals such as calcium and
phosphorus.

4. The skeleton has two main parts: the axial and appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton includes the skull, spine and ribs.
