Protection- the cranium and ribs protect the brain and vital organs in the chest

Shape- gives shape to the body and makes you tall or short

Support- holds your vital organs in place when playing sports. The vertebrae column holds the body upright

Movement- muscles are attached to bones, which are joined. When the muscles contract, the bones move

Blood Production- red blood cells(to carry oxygen) and white blood cells(to protect against infection) are produced in the bone marrow of some bones
