1. which of the following is not a function of the skeletal system?

a storage for minerals c movement
b responding to injuries d protecting organs

1. which system does the skeletal system work closely with to move?

a digestive b respiratory c circulatory d muscular

1. the body stores extra ____________ in your bones for times when it needs it.

a calcium b magnesium c carbon d oxygen

1. bone marrow is responsible for producing ____________.

a yellow blood cells c red blood cells
b calcium d oxygen

1. ____________ hold bones together keeping them in the proper movements.

a cartilage b marrow c ligaments d joints

1. ____________ is found between bones to provide a cushion for easy movement.

a cartilage b marrow c ligaments d joints

1. the major function of bones like your ribs & skull is to ____________.

a produce blood cells c provide shape for the body
b produce calcium d protect important organs

1. ____________ are where 2 bones meet or come together.

a cartilage b marrow c ligaments d joints

Explanation:

1. Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment, not related to the options A, C, D.
2. Humans have an endoskeleton (internal skeleton).
3. Responding to injuries is mainly the immune - system's function, not a primary function of the skeletal system.
4. The skeletal system works closely with the muscular system for movement.
5. The body stores extra calcium in bones.
6. Bone marrow produces red blood cells.
7. Ligaments hold bones together.
8. Cartilage is between bones for cushioning.
9. Ribs and skull protect important organs.
10. Joints are where two bones meet.

Answer:

1. None of the above (but if we must choose, the closest conceptually to homeostasis is maintaining a stable environment which is not well - represented here)
2. A. endo
3. B. responding to injuries
4. D. muscular
5. A. calcium
6. C. red blood cells
7. C. ligaments
8. A. cartilage
9. D. protect important organs
10. D. joints
