Which of the following is not a function of the mammalian skeleton?
Protection
respiration
Transportation
Support
Correct answer is C
The major functions of the skeletal system are body support, facilitation of movement, protection of internal organs, and the storage of minerals and fat.
With the help of the lymphatic and circulatory systems, the skeletal system works with the respiratory system by creating red blood cells in the bones that aid in respiration facilitated by the lungs.
