Support and muscle attachment
Bones support the body by preventing heavy body tissue from weighing it down.
A prop in rugby will require this function to prevent their skeleton from collapsing in a scrum.
Bones help reduce the risk of serious harm to the internal organs (e.g. brain, heart and lungs).
The cranium performs this function to shield the brain when taking a blow to the head in contact sports, e.g. rugby and boxing.
Bones are pulled on via tendons when muscles contract to create movement at a joint.
The bones form joints such as that between the humerus (upper arm) and the radius and ulna (lower arm), allowing flexion and extension movements at the hinge joint (elbow) to take a throw-in in football.
Long bones (e.g. humerus) allow the body to absorb and reserve inorganic substances, e.g. calcium and phosphorus.
Bone marrow in certain bones produces cells that are responsible for oxygen transport (RBCs), immune defence (WBCs) and clotting the blood to stop bleeding (platelets).
Bones provide the framework for muscles to attach to, which forms the shape of the body and keeps it upright.
The synovial joint has many components that prevent articulating bones from rubbing together.
