Bones help to maintain an upright position during daily activities and avoid strain on the lower back.
A prop in rugby may require this function to withhold themselves during a scrum in rugby.
Bones help reduce the risk of serious harm to the internal organs (e.g. brain, heart and lungs).
The Cranium is an example of this function when heading a football or when falling on your head.
Bones join together to form levers and provide a site for the muscles to attach to, in order to allow motion.
The bones form joints such as the humerus (upper arm) and the radius and ulna (lower arm), forming the elbow joint to allow flexion and extension to take a throw-in, in football.
Long bones (e.g. humerus) allows the body to absorb and reserve inorganic substances, e.g. calcium and phosphorus.
Long bones (e.g. humerus and femur) help produce RBC's for O2 transport and WBC's for immune defence.
Bones provide the framework, which forms the shape of the body.
