What are the functions of bones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Support and cells: Bones provide structural support for your body, protector for some of your vital organs, and produce cells that are required for your body to function. In addition, more research suggests that bones may also have a role interacting with hormones as part of your endocrine system.
