Bone

Bone is a rigid, living tissue that provides structure and support to the body. It forms the skeleton, which gives us shape, protects vital organs like the brain and heart, and allows movement with the help of muscles. Bones are also involved in producing blood cells and storing minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. They are made of a combination of dense, hard material called mineralized matrix and living cells that help grow and repair. Healthy bones are essential for overall mobility and strength, supporting both physical activity and internal functions.
