Bones take out calcium and release it into the blood. 98% of ca is stored in the bones. Characteristics and properties of bone: bone is a composite material, which is usually a combination of two materials. Calcium phosphate crystals is the inorganic base, which provides the strength for the bone and resist compressive stress. And the second one is the organic base made of collage bres which provides exibility and toughness. Allows the bone resist bending, stretching, twisting stress: bone is able to remodel under the in uence of external forces either by muscle or gravity/movement. Grow more bone where you have more force in that part of the body, process takes place through entire life.
