Which system is composed of bones and joints that support the body and give it structure?

• A. Skeletal System
• B. Muscular System
• C. Nervous System
• D. Circulatory System

Answer: (A)

The bones and joints create the framework that supports the body and gives it shape. This scaffolding is the skeletal system, which provides structure, protects internal organs, and stores minerals while bone marrow makes blood cells. Muscles move by pulling on this rigid framework, while the nervous system directs actions and the circulatory system supplies blood. So, among the systems, the one built from bones and joints that primarily gives the body its structure is the skeletal system.
