What do bones do for animals?

Bone. Bones are rigid organs that form part of the endoskeleton of vertebrates. They function to move, support, and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells and store minerals. Bone tissue is a type of dense connective tissue.

How the skeletal system works in an animal?

Skeletal systems provide structure and protection for a variety of organisms. A water-based skeleton provides the structure necessary for movement in worms. The hard external skeleton (exoskeleton) not only provides a protective mechanism for many organisms but also assists in movement of insects.

What are some facts about animal bones?

Each bone acts like an anchor for the muscles in the body, which enables movement in animals. Bones are made of a hard white substance called calcium and another substance called collagen, which is softer. Some animals have skeletons that are not made up of bones.
