Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'hematopoiesis': Hematopoiesis is the process of forming new blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which occurs in the bone marrow.

Identify the role of the skeletal system in hematopoiesis: The skeletal system, specifically the bone marrow found in certain bones, is responsible for producing blood cells through hematopoiesis.

Recognize the primary function of red blood cells: Red blood cells are crucial for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and returning carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs for exhalation.

Connect hematopoiesis to body support: By producing red blood cells, the skeletal system supports the body by ensuring adequate oxygen delivery to tissues, which is essential for cellular metabolism and overall function.

Eliminate incorrect options: The skeletal system does not primarily store calcium and phosphorus for blood clotting, regulate blood pressure through bone density, or filter waste products from the blood. Its role in hematopoiesis is directly related to producing red blood cells in the bone marrow.
