    Study Notes

    Bones are an vital part of the human body, providing structure, support, and protection for our organs. They are composed of connective tissue reinforced with calcium and specialized bone cells, and they are constantly remodeling to maintain their strength and health

    The structure of bones can vary depending on their function. There are different types of bone tissue, including compact bone, which is the hard, outer layer that is dense, strong, and durable, and makes up around 80% of adult bone mass and spongy bone, which is a network of rod-like structures that makes up the remaining 20% of bone and provides a site for the development and storage of blood cells

    Bones have various functions, such as supporting body structure, protecting key organs, and enabling the body to move They also store minerals, including calcium, and provide an environment for creating bone marrow, where blood cells are made

    Bones are constantly remodeling, with the body building up and breaking down bone tissue as part of a process that reoccurs every decade The cells involved in this process include osteoblasts, which build bone tissue, osteocytes, which maintain bone tissue, and osteoclasts, which break down old bone tissue

    Bone density relies on a steady supply of dietary calcium, regular weight-bearing exercise, and the right levels of various hormones

    Bones are made up of connective tissue reinforced with calcium and specialized bone cells. The body is constantly remodeling the skeleton by building up new bone tissue and breaking down old bone tissue

    Bones provide shape and support for the body, as well as protection for some organs. They also store minerals and provide the medium—marrow—for the development of blood cells

    Bones are living, active tissues that the body is constantly remodeling. Their functions include supporting body structure, protecting key organs, and enabling the body to move[1
