These functions include supporting the body, protecting the vital organs, providing a point of attachment for skeletal muscles, giving the body shape, and aiding in the formation of red blood cells, white blood cells, and white blood cells, and platelet. In addition, the bones of the skeletal system also store the body’s main supply of calcium. Osteoporosis is a condition that causes the bones to weaken and become fragile due to a lack of calcium in the…
