Question
Chapter 41.3, Problem 2TC
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The reason that the entire skeleton is not made of strong compact bone.
Introduction:
The bones are the substances formed by the different materials, including calcium, a protein called collagen, which provides the bone to become rigid. The bones structure allows them to nullify the effect of the force exerted on them due to the external sources. This results in prevention of breakage of bones.
