It is a dynamic structure: this means that it is constantly changing. Cartilage is more flexible than bone but not as strong. Ligaments hold 2 bones together in a joint. The vertebral column protects the spinal cord. The ribs protect the lungs and heart. Movement is produced by muscle contraction on bones: muscles are attached to bones by tendons, when the muscle contracts, it pulls on the bones. Bone is the main storage site for calcium and phosphorus. It is released from the bones when needed.
