The function of which system helps protect the internal organs?

Muscular system
Integumentary system
Skeletal system
Nervous system

The correct answer is: Skeletal system

The skeletal system plays a crucial role in protecting the internal organs of the body. It provides a rigid structure composed of bones that encase and shield vital organs from potential injury. For instance, the rib cage offers protection for the heart and lungs, while the skull safeguards the brain. Additionally, the skeletal system facilitates movement by serving as a framework to which muscles attach, but its primary significance in this context is its protective function. Other systems, while important for various physiological processes, do not provide the same level of structural protection for internal organs as the skeletal system does.
