Document Summary
Composed of 50% water and 50% organic and inorganic materials. Elements include: zinc, calcium, phosphorous, iron, chlorine, magnesium, fluorine, chlorine. Muscles attach to bone (through tendons) to produce movement. 62 lower extremity: long: longer than they are wide. Their curvature gives them strength as they support the majority of the body"s weight (ex. Provide support and stability (ex. carpels: flat: relatively thin and have a flat surface and act to protect organs or serve as attachment points for muscles (ex. scapular) Develop due to constant source of stress and friction (ex. patella: irregular: unique shapes that help them serve their functions in protection and support (ex. vertebrae) Outer connective tissue that covers the entire length of the bone. Found inside the shaft of the bone. Located at the end of long bones and allows for smooth movement, or articulation, with joints while protecting the ends of the bones.
