MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -What are the functions of bone? Bone provides shape and support for the body, as well as protection for some organs. Bone also serves as a storage site for minerals and provides the medium-marrow-for the development and storage of blood cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -“The functions of molecules, cells, tissues, or organs are determined by their form (structure). Structure and function (from the molecular level to the organ system level) are intrinsically related to each other.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Bone is a mineralized connective tissue that exhibits four types of cells: osteoblasts, bone lining cells, osteocytes, and osteoclasts [1, 2]. Bone exerts important functions in the body, such as locomotion, support and protection of soft tissues, calcium and phosphate storage, and harboring of bone marrow [3, 4].

Detailed explanation-4: -The bone’s hard crystal matrix of bone tissue gives it its rigid structure. The other 35 percent of bone is organic material, most of which is the fibrous protein, collagen. The collagen fibers are networked throughout bone tissue and provide it with flexibility and strength.
