Verified step by step guidance

Understand that the skeletal system has multiple functions, including support, movement, protection, mineral storage, and blood cell production.

Recognize that bone marrow is a soft tissue found in the hollow interior of bones, particularly in the long bones, pelvis, and sternum.

Identify the two types of bone marrow: red marrow and yellow marrow. Red marrow is primarily involved in hematopoiesis, which is the production of blood cells.

Acknowledge that red bone marrow is responsible for producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which are essential components of the circulatory and immune systems.

Conclude that the function of the skeletal system occurring in the bone marrow is the production of blood cells, which is a critical process for maintaining healthy body function.
