Skeleton and Joints
The functions of bones may be stated as
Fat storage, movement, mineral storage, protection, blood cell formation
Mineral storage, haemopoiesis, movement, leverage, protection
Blood cell formation, hormone production, movement, support, protection
Support, storage, movement, haemopoiesis, protection
Support, storage, movement, haemopoiesis, protection
Each choice includes protection, movement and blood cell formation (haemopoiesis), so these terms cannot be used to choose the answer. Bones do not produce hormones, so choice C is eliminated. Bones do provide support to the body; hence only choice D is a complete list of functions.
