Biomechanics: evolution of form by selection constrained by physics. Compression and tension: from trabeculae to dynamic optimization. An apple has a stalk (the little wood bit) that pushes from the center up and then gravity pushing it down: boom compression: relates to newton"s third law of grav (every action has an opp. Bone is a composite material made of a whole bunch working together: extracellular material, matrix of collagen with calcium salts, tissue laid down in embryo by use of fibroblasts and osteocytes.
