provides structural support for the entire body

protection
surrounds soft tissue- ex. ribs and sternum protect the heart and lungs, - skull protects the brain

movement
skeletal muscle is attached to bone so it pulls on the bone when it contracts

mineral homeostasis
stores calcium and phosphorus--minerals are released into the blood when needed

blood cell production
red bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells and other blood elements

storage
storage of minerals and lipids(fats)---yellow marrow stores fat --(found in long bones)
