Highly vascular form of connective tissue. Collagen, calcium phosphate, water, amorphous proteins, and cells. Most rigid of the connective tissue. Dynamic tissue that undergoes constant metabolism and remodeling. Your bone is constantly changing same as your cells. Every bone differs in time of remodeling; it does not happen all at once; it will take approximately 10 years to replace a whole skeleton. Functions of bone: 1. Protection of vital organs 2. Support and structure 3. Movement and locomotion 4. Sound conduction 5. Hematopoiesis 6. Mineral storage and release 7. Fat storage in yellow marrow 8. Acid base (pH) balance 9. Stores and periodically release growth factors 10. Detoxification. Cortical vs. Cancellous Bone Types of bony tissues: Cortical bone and Cancellous bone. Cortical (compact) bone constitutes 80% of the skeleton. Cancellous (spongy or trabecular) Bone 20% of total human bone. Less dense. Consists of trabeculae adjacent to irregular cavities that contain red marrow.
Understand the Problem
The text provides detailed information about bones, including their composition, functions, types, and differences between cortical and cancellous bone. It outlines various aspects of bone biology in a structured format.
Answer
Bones are highly vascular tissues that remodel, protecting organs, supporting structure, and aiding movement.
Bones are highly vascular connective tissues that are dynamic and undergo constant remodeling, taking about 10 years to replace a skeleton. They serve functions such as organ protection, structural support, movement, and hematopoiesis, among others.
Answer for screen readers
Bones are highly vascular connective tissues that are dynamic and undergo constant remodeling, taking about 10 years to replace a skeleton. They serve functions such as organ protection, structural support, movement, and hematopoiesis, among others.
More Information
Bones are crucial for various bodily functions, with two main types: cortical (compact) and cancellous (spongy), comprising 80% and 20% of total human bone respectively.
