Explanation:

The skeletal system has several key functions. It provides support (S), protection (P) for internal organs, produces blood cells (P - hematopoiesis), and stores minerals (S). An adult skeleton has 206 bones. A baby is born with around 300 bones. Some of the baby's extra bones fuse together as the baby grows. The smallest bone is the stapes in the middle - ear. The longest bone is the femur in the thigh. There are 27 bones in one hand.
