Bone
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. One of the types of tissues that makes up bone is the mineralized
osseous tissue, also called bone tissue, that gives it rigidity and honeycomb-like three-dimensional internal structure. Other types of tissue found in bones include
marrow,
endosteum and
periosteum,
nerves,
blood vessels and
cartilage. There are two hundred six bones in the adult body.
