The document is a worksheet for a laboratory on the human skeletal system. It contains two parts: Part A introduces key facts about bones and their functions, such as how bones are involved in movement, protection and support, mineral storage, and the differences between spongy and compact bone. Part B instructs students to explain the skeletal system's functions of support, protection, movement, storage, and hematopoiesis. It also asks students to identify how many bones are in the adult human skeleton and classify example bones as long, short, flat, or irregular.

2. Why is protection and support of the skeletal system a vital function? 3. What is hematopoiesis and where does it occur in the bone? 4. What minerals are stored in the bone and how it may function for the entire human body? 5. What are the function of the bone markings? 6. In what ways is spongy bone better than compact bone? 7. In whay ways is compact bone better than spongy bone?
Part B: Functions and Classification
1. Explain how the skeletal system performs the following functions.
Number Function Explanation
1 Support 2 Protection 3 Movement 4 Storage 5 Hematopoiesis
2. How many bones are in the adult human skeleton? ____________________________
