Here is an explanation:
the human skeleton is a tissue as a results of aggregate cells call osteocytes or osteoblasts.it has numerous functions which includes protection,locomotion or movement,support of delicate organs,attachment of organs just to mention a few.the thoracic vertebra protects the delicate organs like the heart and lungs in conjunction with the rib forming rib cage,the muscles attached to bones by tendons aid in movement,the lumbar vertebra supports the abdominal organs and walls.the skeleton doesn't control growth rate it is only induced by d pituitarin (growth hormone).the Skeleton also aid in respiration with d diaphragm,ribs n intercoatal muscles.simply put it is the bony framework of the human morphology on which the whole body organs and systems are built upon.great Nigerian students!!!!!!!
REF: not from any book but the book upstairs.......my brain guys
the skeleton is a general term.we ave cartilage,bones,cardiac.the skeleton isn't involved in transportation that is a biological function of d human blood.we ave the yellow n red bone marrows.d yellow marrow has fats which is yellow in colour while d red marrow has erythropoietin which stimulates d production of red blood cells (ertythrocytes) with d aid of iron from d liver.so transportation isn't a function of d skeleton but d blood.great Nigerian students!!!!
All are correct but the least which is not really relevant is Transportation which is C
because the ear Ossicle which is the softest and smallest bone in the body helps in the Transportation of sound but the question here is referring to the MAJOR functions not the least. so the answer is C.
The rib cage which is a part of d skeletal system helps to protect the heart and lungs. the lungs help in respiration. if d lung is not protected, will respiration occur? definitely NO!!
The bones and muscles aid movement
the skeletal system helps to protect delicate organs for example, the skull protects d brain
the bone marrow helps in d manufacture of red blood cells. the skeletal system does not help in transportation, the blood... does
the answer is respiration. Cos the Production of Red blood cell which carries 9ut transportation is from the Bone. And the bone is from the skeleton..
The thoraic bones aid breathing movement....manufacture of red and white blood cells nut transporting them...plasma transports
Explanation:
The mammalian skeleton has several functions:
Protection → e.g., skull protects the brain, ribs protect the heart and lungs.
Support → provides structural framework for the body.
Respiration → bones like the ribs help in breathing by allowing expansion and contraction of the chest.
Transportation is not a function of the skeleton; transportation of substances (like blood, nutrients, gases) is done by the circulatory system, not bones.
Don't mix Transportation with Locomotion.
Transportation is done by the blood vessels and the heart( circulatory system) while
Locomotion is done (aided) by your skeleton 💙✝️
Here is the Correct Explanation
The option that is not a function of the mammalian skeleton is B. Respiration
.
The primary functions of the mammalian skeleton are:
A. Protection: The skeletal system protects vital organs such as the brain (protected by the skull), heart and lungs (protected by the rib cage), and the spinal cord (protected by the vertebral column).
C. Transportation: The skeletal system, along with muscles, enables the transportation of materials within the body through movement and locomotion.
D. Support: The skeletal system provides structural support and shape to the body, allowing for upright posture and weight-bearing.
Other functions of the mammalian skeleton include:
- Movement: Bones, along with muscles and joints, enable movement and locomotion.
- Blood cell production: Red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow.
- Mineral storage: Bones store minerals like calcium and phosphorus, which can be released into the bloodstream when needed.
Respiration, however, is not a function of the skeletal system. Respiration is the process of gaseous exchange (taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide), which is a function of the respiratory system, including the lungs, diaphragm, and associated structures.
Therefore, the option that is not a function of the mammalian skeleton is B. Respiration.
