Let's solve this
matching worksheet step by step.
---
Worksheet Task: Match the parts of the skeleton to their correct functions.
We have
four images of parts of the human skeleton on the left, and
four functions on the right. We need to match each image with its correct function.
---
Step 1: Identify each skeleton part shown in the images
1.
First image (top) – A
skull
→ This is the
cranial skeleton, which encloses and protects the brain.
2.
Second image – A
ribcage (ribs and sternum)
→ This is the
thoracic cage, which surrounds the heart and lungs.
3.
Third image – A
spine (vertebral column)
→ The spine supports the body and allows movement; it also protects the spinal cord.
4.
Fourth image – A
leg bone (likely femur and tibia/fibula)
→ This is a
limb bone, involved in walking and running.
---
Step 2: Match each part to its function
Now let’s look at the functions:
-
Protect internal organs such as the heart, liver and lungs.
→ This refers to the
ribcage (second image). The ribs protect the heart and lungs.
-
Support body.
→ This is a general function of the
spine and other bones, but especially the
spine provides structural support.
-
Support movement for walk and run. Support and movement such as walking and running.
→ This clearly refers to the
legs, specifically the
femur and lower leg bones (fourth image).
-
Protect the brain.
→ This is the role of the
skull (first image).

✔ Final Matching:
|
Main Skeleton |
Function |
|-------------------|-------------|
|
Skull | Protect the brain. |
|
Ribcage | Protect internal organs such as the heart, liver and lungs. |
|
Spine | Support body. |
|
Leg bone | Support movement for walk and run. Support and movement such as walking and running. |

📌 Summary of Matches:
1.
Skull →
Protect the brain.
2.
Ribcage →
Protect internal organs such as the heart, liver and lungs.
3.
Spine →
Support body.
4.
Leg bone →
Support movement for walk and run.

✔ This completes the matching task correctly!
