Question

Which one of these is NOT a function of the Skeletal System?

A) Gives your body its shape, support, and structure
B) Makes red blood cells in the bone marrow
C) Gives your internal organs protection
D) Digests your food in order for your body to get energy

Answer 1

The skeletal system does not digest food for energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The skeletal system has several functions, including support, movement, and protection of internal organs. However, one function that is NOT performed by the skeletal system is digestion of food to provide energy. The digestive system, specifically the stomach and intestines, is responsible for breaking down food and extracting energy from it.
