Injury rehabilitation

• True

• False

The functions of the skeletal system are:

• Provide Shape and Structure

• Protect organs

• Enables Movement by providing a point of attached for muscles

• Helps the brain function with the immune system.

• Those Jedi people have it.

• The break down of matter when executing a skill in sport.

• The manipulation of a frisbee to make it curve

• A push or pull upon and object resulting from the objects interaction with another object

This is an example of one of Newton's laws:

An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
