Question

Which organ system provides support,protection of soft tissue,mineral storage,and blood formation?
A)integumentary
B)muscular
C)skeletal
D)nervous
E)endocrine

Accepted Answer

The skeletal system provides support for the body, protects soft tissues and organs (i.e. the brain, heart, lungs), stores minerals (i.e. calcium and phosphorus), and produces blood cells in the bone marrow. The integumentary system provides a barrier for the body and helps regulate body temperature. The muscular system allows for movement and supports the skeletal system. The nervous system allows for communication and control of bodily functions. The endocrine system helps regulate hormones and bodily functions. Therefore, the skeletal system is the best choice for the given functions.
