The skeletal system of human helps maintain homeostasis by producing new red bloods cells where the old ones just die off. It also helps maintain the level of calcium in the blood stream.
Functions of the skeletal system. Support â structural framework. Protection of internal organs. Blood Cell Production (hematopoiesis) Movement â skeletal muscle attaches to bone. Mineral Homeostasis (calcium and phosphorous) Storage â calcium salts represent a valuable mineral reserve that maintains normal concentrations of calcium and phosphate ions in body fluids. In addition, bones also store energy reserves as lipids in areas fillwed with yellow marrow. Blood cell production â red blood cells, white blood cells and other blood elements are produced within ref marro which fills the internal cavities of many bones Leverage â movements range from delicate motion of a fingertip to powerful changes in the position of the entire body.
