1. Protection (bones serve to protect internal organs. E.g. the skull protects the brain, the ribs protects the heart and lungs.
2. Structure (bones provide a frame to keep the body supported - without bones, the body would be a blob of meat.
3. Movement (bones, skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints co-ordinate together to generate and transfer forces so that individual body parts can be manipulated.
In the body, joints act as the fulcrum when bones function as levers. Joints provide a pivot point around which bones can move to generate mechanical advantage for various movements.
The body's main energy flows are from food intake (calories consumed), energy expenditure through daily activities and exercise, and metabolic processes within the body that convert food into energy for cellular functions.
Ligaments connect bones to bones and need to stretch more than tendons, which connect muscles to bones, because they are responsible for stabilizing joints and allowing a greater range of motion. Tendons need less flexibility as their main function is to transmit force from muscles to bones to facilitate movement.
In long jump, the femur functions to provide power and propulsion for jumping by extending the hip joint. It is one of the major bones involved in generating force and movement during the jump. The femur works in coordination with other leg muscles and bones to execute the jump successfully.
The main differences between adult and child skeletons are size and proportion. In children, bones are smaller and less dense, with growth plates at the ends of long bones that allow for growth. Adults have fully fused bones and a greater degree of ossification throughout the skeleton. Children also have more bones than adults due to fusion of certain bones as they grow.

The two main functions of joints are to provide movement and flexibility to the body by enabling bones to articulate and move relative to each other, and to provide stability and support to the skeleton by connecting bones together.
to give the body structure
The functions of the ligaments is to attach the muscles to the bones, to attach bones to bones, to give support to the joints and help in the movement of the joint and body
The main organs of the skeletal system are bones, joints, and cartilage. Bones provide structure and support for the body, protect internal organs, and facilitate movement. Joints allow for movement and flexibility, while cartilage acts as a cushion between bones to reduce friction and absorb shock.
provide support for the body. Bones also play a role in producing blood cells through the bone marrow.

what disease or problems we encounter without the special functions of the bones
Muscles, Bones and Joints! ~enjoy! voila. <3
Yes, the arm has three major bones: the humerus in the upper arm, and the radius and ulna in the lower arm.
