Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by understanding the primary function of the skeletal system. The skeletal system provides structural support, protection for internal organs, and serves as the framework for the body.
Step 2: Compare the skeletal system's function to the other organ systems listed in the problem. For example, the muscular system is responsible for movement, the respiratory system facilitates gas exchange, and the digestive system processes food for energy.
Step 3: Recognize that none of the other systems listed (muscular, respiratory, digestive) are primarily responsible for providing the framework for the body. This is a unique function of the skeletal system.
Step 4: Recall that the skeletal system includes bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints, all of which contribute to the body's structure and support.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is the skeletal system, as it is the organ system that provides the framework for the body.
