1. It stores and releases hydrogen to maintain blood pH.

   • This statement is incorrect. Bones do not primarily function to store and release hydrogen to maintain blood pH. The regulation of blood pH is mainly managed by the kidneys and the respiratory system.

2. It stores and releases inorganic chemicals such as calcium and phosphorus.

   • This statement is correct. Bones act as a reservoir for minerals, particularly calcium and phosphorus, which can be released into the bloodstream as needed.

3. It supports and protects body structures.

   • This statement is correct. Bones provide structural support for the body and protect vital organs. For example, the skull protects the brain, and the rib cage protects the heart and lungs.

4. It forms blood cells in the bone marrow.

   • This statement is correct. The bone marrow, found within certain bones, is the site of hematopoiesis, the process of forming blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

5. It provides attachment for muscles.

   • This statement is correct. Bones serve as attachment points for muscles, allowing for movement when muscles contract.

Therefore, the correct answers are:

• It stores and releases inorganic chemicals such as calcium and phosphorus.
• It supports and protects body structures.
• It forms blood cells in the bone marrow.
• It provides attachment for muscles.
