The skeletal system has several functions. Red - bone marrow within bones is involved in blood cell production. Bones provide support for the body, giving it shape and structure. They also protect internal organs such as the brain (protected by the skull), heart and lungs (protected by the rib - cage). Contraction is a function of the muscular system, not the skeletal system.
