They provide the body a proper shape, frame, and support to other organs. In places, the bony compartment, like the skull and thorax, also protects the essential organs like the brain, heart, lungs.

This system is also flexible and movable at places called joints. These joints help in the body movements in coordination with skeletal muscles.
