Which of the following are functions of the skeletal system? (Select one that does not apply.)
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C, 'Conduct impulses.' The skeletal system's primary functions include supporting the body, hemopoiesis (blood cell production), and providing protection to internal organs. Conducting impulses is a function of the nervous system, not the skeletal system. The skeletal system serves as the framework for the body, enabling movement, protecting vital organs, producing blood cells, storing minerals, and supporting the overall structure of the body.
