What does the skeletal system provide for the body?
(What is a framework?)
hat type of marrow produces blood cells?
What is red bone marrow?
What connects muscle to bone?
(What are tendons?

What are support, protection, movement, blood cell formation, and mineral storage?)
What is the difference between red and yellow bone marrow?
(What is "Red produces blood cells, while yellow stores fat"?)
Why are ligaments important?
(What is "They limit the amount of motion at joints"?)
What are the five functions of the integumentary system?
What are protection, temperature regulation, sensory reception, excretion, and vitamin D production?)
What happens when the integumentary system gets damaged?
(What is "The body repairs itself through cell regeneration and scab formation"?)
