What I learn about bone health
In physiology class, I have begin to learn more about bone health after I have done several assignments in class. I have learn from the book the way bones are form and what are the jobs of them. The bones job is to support and protect our body. When bones are broken or fractured, surgery and other stuff can be done to replace or repair the bones. Bones are actually important to human beings because they need it to support them when they walk or to perform specific movements. Without them, we would probably be laying on the floor right now doing nothing because we could not move at all. There are many diseases that we can get when we get old and some diseases just comes from the bones itself if you do not be careful. Such diseases can be like Scoliosis, and other diseases.
Bone functions related to bone structures
All bones in our body perform different structures and functions. Because of these different functions the bones have different structures. Bones are shaped the way they are because of the directions the bones move. In between each bone that coordinates with the other there are tissues, cartilage, ligaments, and much more. These parts provide cushion, blood and much more for the bones to work. For example, the cartilage and ligaments holds both the bones together so that when we move we would not fall apart. In other words, we would not be able to stand straight if it wasn't for the ligaments and cartilage to hold us together.
