In the bones. 12 of 26 Give examples of important minerals that that are stored in bones : Calcium, phosphorous. 13 of 26 What does the skeleton provide a point of attatchment for? Muscles. 14 of 26 Why do muscles pull on the bone when they contract? To cause movement. 15 of 26 What is the spinal cord protected by? Vertebrae. 16 of 26 What are the delicate heart and lungs protected by? Ribs. 17 of 26 What does the skeleton give its body? Shape. 18 of 26 What does the skeleton provide?
