Supportstrong and relatively light; 20% body weight2. Movementframework on which muscles actact as levers and pivots3. Protectionbrain, lungs, heart, reproductive system4. Mineral storage (electrolyte balance99% of body s calcium is in bone tissue(1200-1400g vs < in blood, rest in cells)also stores phosphate5. Hemopoiesisblood cell formation6. Detoxificationbone tissue removes heavy metals and other foreign materialsfrom bloodcan later release these materials more slowly for excretionbut this can also have bad consequencesHuman Anatomy & Physiology: Skeletal System ; Ziser, Lecture Notes, Anatomyeach individual bone is a separate organ of theskeletal System ~270 bones (organs) of the Skeletal Systemwith age the number decreases as bones fuseby adulthood the number is 206 (typical)even this number va)
