Which of the following statements is FALSE?

Question

The primary function of our skeletal system is to provide a framework for the body's tissues.
The skeletal system allows body movement.
The skeletal system protects the internal organs.
The skeletal system initiates the defense mechanism.

Answer 1

The false statement is: "The skeletal system initiates the defense mechanism."

While the skeletal system does provide support, protection, and allows for movement, it does not play a direct role in initiating the body's defense mechanisms, which are primarily the functions of the immune system.
