BONES
Bones are the hard tissue that makes up the skeleton of vertebrates.
Bones provide support and protection for the body, and they also help to facilitate movement.
Bones are made up of a protein called collagen and a mineral called calcium phosphate.
The human body has 206 bones.
The longest bone in the body is the femur, which is the thigh bone.
The smallest bone in the body is the stapes, which is located in the middle ear.
Bones are constantly being remodeled, with new bone being created and old bone being broken down.
Bones are living tissue, and they contain blood vessels and nerves.
