NOTES: Skeletal, Muscular, and Integumentary System

The primary function of the skeletal system in the human body is (a)  

• To produce hormones
• To provide structure and support
• To digest food
• To circulate blood

Which of the following best describes the relationship between the structure and function of the muscular system?

• Muscles are rigid and provide protection

• Muscles are flexible and allow movement

• Muscles are porous and store minerals

• Muscles are flat and cover organs

Identify the main function of the integumentary system.

• To protect the body from external damage

• To transport nutrients

• To break down food

• To produce red blood cells

How do the skeletal and muscular systems work together to facilitate movement?

• The skeletal system stores energy for muscles

• Muscles contract to move bones at joints

• Bones produce enzymes for muscle function

• The skeletal system absorbs nutrients for muscles

Explain how the structure of the skin contributes to its function as a protective barrier.

• The skin is thin and allows easy passage of substances

• The skin is thick and impermeable to all substances

• The skin has multiple layers that provide a barrier against pathogens

• The skin is made of bone tissue for strength

Analyze how the skeletal system supports the function of the circulatory system.

• By producing white blood cells

• By providing a framework for muscle attachment

• By producing red blood cells in the bone marrow

• By storing oxygen

Which of the following is a function of the muscular system?

• To produce hormones

• To facilitate movement

• To protect internal organs

• To store fat

Describe how the structure of bones contributes to their function in the body.

• Bones are hollow to reduce weight and store fat

• Bones are solid to prevent movement

• Bones are rigid and strong to support body weight

• Bones are flexible to allow bending
