What are the functions of the human musculoskeletal system?

The musculoskeletal system (ODS) is the supporting frame of the human body. We can say that our health and life directly depend on the physical condition of this system. This is due to two essential functions:

The protective function of the ODS is to protect the internal organs from external mechanical stress. The ribs protect the heart and lungs, while the skull protects the brain.
Motor function. The bones that make up the human skeleton are interconnected by joints. Their work is similar to the movement of levers.
