Question

multiple choice 1 point what function of the skeletal system is concerned with calcium and phosphorus ions important in muscle contraction and nerve impulse conduction? protection of internal organs support of the body mineral & fat storage 12 fill in the blank 1 point both flat and round bones protect internal organs while choose your answer... bones protect tendons from compressive forces. 13 categorization 1 point drag the attributes into the correct category. compact bone component(s)/attributes spongy bone component(s)/attributes

Explanation:

1. For question 11: The skeletal system stores minerals like calcium and phosphorus, which are critical for muscle contraction and nerve function; the other options describe different skeletal functions.
2. For question 12: Flat bones (e.g., skull, ribs) protect internal organs, while sesamoid bones (e.g., patella) protect tendons from compressive forces.
3. For question 13: (Note: The full attributes to drag are not visible, but standard categorization: Compact bone is dense, forms the outer layer of bones; Spongy bone is porous, found inside bones. Common attributes for compact bone: dense, strong, weight-bearing; for spongy bone: trabecular, lightweight, shock-absorbing.)

Answer:

1. Question 11: Mineral & fat storage
2. Question 12:

First blank: flat
Second blank: sesamoid

1. Question 13: (Complete attributes needed for full categorization, but standard pairing:

• Compact Bone Component(s)/attributes: [dense, outer bone layer, weight-bearing]
• Spongy Bone Component(s)/attributes: [porous, trabecular, inner bone layer])
