Which of the following is not a function of skeletal system? A Production of eythrocytes B Storage of minerals C Production of body heat D Locomotion
The adult human skeletal system consists of 206 bones, as well as a network of tendons, ligaments and cartilage that connects them. The skeleton serves six major functions: support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals and endocrine regulation. Hence, Production of body heat is not a function of the skeletal system. So, the correct answer is 'Production of body heat
Skeletal system is the articulation bones to give perfect shape to the body. They help in locomotion by attaching with muscles.Bones are made up of minerals like Ca++ and po4-. So they act as store house of minerals.Bones have bone marrow which contain stem cells. Stem cells are the precursors of blood form cells like RBC, WBC and platelets,Skeletal system doesn't play any role in production of heat. Heat production is regulated by metabolic processes.So the correct option is C.
