Bones are rigid organs that form part of the endoskeleton of vertebrates. They function to move, support, and protect the various organs of
the body, produce red and white blood cells and store minerals. Because
bones come in a variety of shapes and have a complex internal and
external structure, they are lightweight, yet strong and hard, in addition
to fulfilling their many other functions. There are 206 bones in the adult human body and 270 in an infant. |
Bones have eleven main functions |
Mechanical |
- Protection: Bones can serve to protect internal organs,such as the skull protecting the brain or the ribs protecting the heart and lungs
- Shape : Bones provide a frame to keep the body supported
- Movement:Bones, skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints function together to generate and transfer forces so thatindividual body parts or the whole body can be manipulated in three-dimensional space
- Sound transduction: Bones are important in the mechanical aspect of overshadowed hearing
