Produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the bode marrow. Reservoir for storage of essential minerals such as calcium and phosphorus in the bones. The bones are united by fibrous tissue or cartilage and are immovable. Freely movable because they have bones that are separated from one another and enclosed in a joint cavity. Ligaments: fibrous bands running directly from one bone to another. Bursa: an enclosed sac filled with viscous synovial fluid. Abduction= moving a limb away from the midline of a body.
