The bones and joints work together to maintain
homeostasis in two main ways. One is by minimizing changes in the
body's internal conditions; this is accomplished
by providing support and protection from traumatic injury. The
second way is by helping to restore errant conditions to proper
levels. The skeletal system contributes to this goal by helping the
muscles move, storing minerals and
fat,
and producing blood cells. |
