Chapter 35, Problem 2SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Bones are the specialized connective tissues that surround the living cells. An adult consists of 206 bones in their body. There are mainly two types of bone tissues: spongy bone and compact bone. The main functions of bone are storage of minerals, aiding in the movement, to protect the organs, and for producing the blood cells through red marrow.
