Which of the following is not a function to the skeletal system supports the body?
A) Supports the body
B) Work with other body systems to allow movement
C) Sends signals to the brain
D) Manufactures new blood cells****
Please help as fast as you can, please, and thank you!
I agree with your answer
oh okay, can you explain?
Sorry but I've changed my mind. D is not right. Blood cells are manufactured in the bone marrow.
To determine which of the options is not a function of the skeletal system, let's go through each option:
A) Supports the body: This is indeed a function of the skeletal system. The skeletal system, which includes bones, provides support and structure for the body.
B) Works with other body systems to allow movement: This is also a function of the skeletal system. Bones and joints work together with muscles to allow for movement.
C) Sends signals to the brain: This is not a function of the skeletal system. The responsibility for sending signals to the brain lies with the nervous system, specifically the nerves.
D) Manufactures new blood cells: This is a function of the skeletal system. The bone marrow, found within the bones, is responsible for the production of new blood cells.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) Sends signals to the brain. This option is not a function of the skeletal system.
Remember, when faced with a question like this, it is important to understand the functions of the different body systems in order to determine the correct answer.
