How are bones formed?

Bones are made of living tissue - osteocytes

How bones grow!

Long bones (like those of arms & legs) - have growth plates at either end

Keeping Bone Tissue Healthy

Haversian canals are tubes through bone tissue.

Keeping Bone Tissue Healthy Haversian canals are tubes through bone tissue. Blood vessels and nervous tissue are found in the Haversian canals

Connecting Bones Together

While bone is strong structurally it is a soft material that wears easily

Different types of joints.

Fixed joints - found in skull do not allow movement. These are also called suture joints because of their jagged appearance
