Which of the following is NOT a function of the skeleton?
-
Storage.
-
Production of hormones.
-
Production of blood cells and platelets within the bone marrow.
-
Shape/Structure.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The skeleton has several functions, including providing shape and structure to the body, storage of minerals like calcium and phosphorus, and production of blood cells and platelets in the bone marrow. However, the production of hormones is not a function of the skeleton. Hormones are produced by various glands in the body, such as the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands. The skeleton primarily serves as a support system for the body and is involved in movement, protection of organs, and mineral storage.
