The skeleton has many different functions:

Support and shape-Without the skeleton we'd collapse like jelly. The skeleton supports the soft tissue like skin and muscle

Protection- The skeleton protects delicate vital organs, like the heart, lungs and brain

Movement- Joints- Places where two or more bones meet. muscles attached by tendons can move various bones

Making blood cells- Long bones conatin bone marrow, new red blood cells are made in this bone marrow. Red blood cells are used to carry oxgyen , haemoglobin around the body where its used to release energy

Mineral storage- Bones store important minerals like calcium

Involuntary muscles- Intestines, organs, blood vessles. They work without concious effort from you, so without you having to do anything like breath or lift an arm

Voluntary muscles- They are attached to the skeleton and are under your control. Like flexing muscles, lifting an arm, heart beating, breathing.

All muscles are made up of fibres

Nerve impulses are what tells muscles to contract- or the heart to beat in rhythm
