Dorsiflexion is the movement of pulling the toes upward toward the nose. Inversion is the movement of pointing the sole of the foot inward. Plantar flexion is the movement of pointing the toes toward the floor. Eversion is the movement of pointing the sole of the foot outward.

Answer to Question 2

Skeletal bones provide a framework for the body and they store minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. It is the skeletal muscles that provide movement, maintain posture, and generate heat.
