Accepted Answer

The skeletal system stores calcium and helps regulate its levels in the body.

Answer: B 
 The bones of the skeletal system act as a shock absorber during sudden movements or impacts.

Answer: D 
 The bones of the skeletal system do not cushion organs in the abdominal cavity - this is the role of adipose tissue and other organs.

Answer: E 
 While the skeletal system does not play a direct role in facilitating nerve impulses, it does contribute to the overall maintenance and functioning of bodily fluid calcium levels and the absorption of shock during movement.
