LONG ANSWERS
1. The skeletal system works as a support structure for your body. It gives
the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides
protection for organs and stores minerals 
2. certain muscle movements happen without you thinking about them.
Muscles that are under your conscious control are called voluntary
muscles. Muscles that are not under your conscious control are called
involuntary muscles. 
3. Muscles move body parts by contracting and then relaxing.
Muscles can pull bones, but they can't push them back to the
original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and
extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint.

drastically reduce muscle tears. ... 
3. Diet. What you eat greatly impacts the health of your muscles. ...

HOTS
1. Normally your back bone or spine is made of many segments (divided
into three groups) which allow you to bend and fully articulate your
body. This helps you to comfortably move around, run, sleep, walk etc..
If your backbone is just one long bone, oh won't be able to perform any
such activities and would cause back pain temporarily or permanently. 
2. If the neck were to function on a hinge joint one would not be able to
move the neck in an upward or downward direction which would have
been quite an inconvenience. 
 
The only movement which would have been possible for our neck was
to be sideways.
