What are the most important functions of the skeletal system?

Answer 1

The skeletal system protects our major organs, including the heart, lungs, and brain, as well as supporting our body weight and enabling us to move our body parts (with the assistance of muscles). The marrow found in the bones also aids in the production of red blood cells and the storage of fat.
