The largest bone in the human body is known as the femur.  This is the bone that connects your hip and your knee.  A lot of elderly people suffer fractures, (broken bones) of the hip which is the top portion of the femur bone where it goes in a socket.  This socket is something like your elbow or your knee.    from, Jill,R.N.

Some hormones, like parathyroid hormone and calcitonin, directly act on cells that lay down and take up bone--mainly acting to regulate the calcium, but also the actual amount of bone.\n\nOthers, like testosterone, estrogen and progesterone, act less directly; all three of these, like calcitonin, tend to increase the amount of bone mass laid down.\n\nThere are some other substances involved as well: calcium and phosphate (bone is mostly a calcium hydroxy apatite crystal, which is mainly calcium and phosphate) and Vitamin D, which is involved in the body's handling of calcium.

muscles provide both support and functionality. Muscles pull ang push on bones so that they may work. Digestive system digests food and provides energy supply and calcium deposits. Circulatory system transports essential nutrients into bones. Nervous system regulates the action of the bones whether to move or not. Endocrine system parathyroid gland regulates bone formation and bone breakdown. Integumentary system protects bone and muscle from outside environment. Respiratory system brings oxygen

This lacks an actual question, but I see what your teacher is aiming at. \nHint: what is the main function of the large intestin? What is reabsorbed there that you wouldn't especially need in aquatic environments?

Parathyroid functions in control of plasma calcium and phosphate. Thyroid is an endocrine gland which secrets Thyroxine(T4), Triodothyronine(T3) and Calcitonin. The first two hormones function in control of metabolic rate, growth, brain development and brain functioning. The last one functions in control of plasma calcium. \nGood luck with your homework.

The skeletal system supports the whole body, including the bones. In addition to holding things up, and being propelled by the muscular system, Bones create blood in the marrow.

Minerals, mainly calcium.  \n\nFrom a website:\nMinerals from food intake (eg, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus) are transported from the digestive system via the blood and absorbed (taken up) by the bones. The rate at which they are absorbed is regulated by hormones (estrogens).\n \nWhen there is already a lack of hormones in the body, these minerals "leak out" of the cells back into the bloodstream. The result is that the bone may start to become porous (full of holes), and waste away.\n\n Women with lowered estrogen levels may have an increased risk of developing Osteoporosis. This may occur as the result of a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) where the ovaries have also been removed, or as part of the normal aging process.\n\nThe disease can also develop as a result of disorders where there is excess production of adrenal or thyroid hormones.

Apart from production of red cells and oxygen & carbon dioxide balance, the bones are the organs where calcium and phosphorous are stored when  excess in the blood thereby maintaining homeostasis...

Like many parts of our body, it serves more than one purpose.  Two I can think of: 1) it is an opening that can close securely enough to protect the anus yet open enough to allow poop to come out and 2) yes, it seamlessly continues the leg, making it very easy to stride and open our legs wide for many functions.

The primary function of the male reproductive system is reproduction, which includes the production of spermatozoa, the transportation of spermatozoa from the testes out of the male body, the secretion by glands, and the placement of spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract. Spermatozoa are produced in the testes then transported from the testes by a series of ducts which become gradually larger and connect with the urethra of the penis.  Various accessory glands in the male system secrete materials which together with the spermatozoa constitutes the semen. A secondary function of the male reproductive system is the production of the male hormones which are responsible for the secondary sex characteristics of the male animal.\n\nhttp://www.cvm.okstate.edu/instruction/mm_curr/histology/MR/himrp1.htm\n\nThe male reproductive system, like that of the female, consists of those organs whose function is to produce a new individual, i.e., to accomplish reproduction. This system consists of a pair of testes and a network of excretory ducts (epididymis, ductus deferens (vas deferens), and ejaculatory ducts), seminal vesicles, the \nprostate, the bulbourethral glands, and the penis. \n\nhttp://training.seer.cancer.gov/module_anatomy/unit12_2_repdt_male.html\n\nThe organs of the male reproductive system are specialized for the following functions:\n\nTo produce, maintain and transport sperm (the male reproductive cells) and protective fluid (semen) \nTo discharge sperm within the female reproductive tract \nTo produce and secrete male sex hormones \n\n\nhttp://www.cchs.net/health/health-info/docs/2300/2376.asp?index=9117

Actually, the appendix, like the tonsils, has been observed to have a function.\n\nThe appendix serves as a "storage area" for the endosymbiotic bacteria--it's sort of a maintenance culture area, so that when the colonic flora get wiped out by something mechanical, the colon can be rapidly recolonized from the "stored" bacteria.\n\nTonsils are mainly just highly visible, comparatively large lymph nodes.  You can get by without them, just like you can get by without your appendix, half your liver, your gall bladder, one of your kidneys, etc, but that isn't actually proof that they're vestigial.\n\nThey used to think the pineal was vestigial, too; turns out to be an important neuroendocrine modulator..\n\nThe more we learn, I guess, the more we find what we once thought to be useless was just useful in a more subtle way...

The skeleton functions not only as the support for the body but also in haematopoiesis, the manufacture of blood cells that takes place in bone marrow. It is also necessary for protection of vital organs and is needed by the muscles for movement.
