Question

11 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 from compressive forces. choose your answer... and choose your answer... bones protect internal organs while choose your answer... bones protect tendons 13 categorization 1 point drag the attributes into the correct category. compact bone component(s)/attributes spongy bone component(s)/attributes no answers chosen

Explanation:

1. For question 11: The skeletal system stores minerals like calcium and phosphorus, which are critical for muscle contraction and nerve conduction; this matches the described function.
2. For question 12: Flat bones (e.g., ribs, skull) protect internal organs, while round (sesamoid) bones (e.g., patella) protect tendons from compressive forces.
3. For question 13: Compact bone is dense and provides strength/protection, so it is associated with long, flat, round bones. Spongy bone is found inside bones that need to withstand multidirectional stress, which includes irregular bones.

Answer:

1. Mineral & fat storage
2. Flat; round

13.
Compact Bone Component(s)/attributes: long, round, flat
Spongy Bone Component(s)/attributes: irregular
