    Resilience of bone

    Explanation:

    The resilience of bone comes from sacrificial bonds in or between collagen molecules

    Three major functions of bones includes

    Providing structural support to the body

    Providing protection to vital organs

    Providing an environment for marrow (where blood cells are produced)

    There are two types of tissues which bones are composed of:

    A hard outer layer called cortical bone which is strong, compact, dense and tough

    A spongy inner layer called trabecular bone, this network of trabeculae is lighter and less dense than compact bone as a storage area for minerals (such as calcium)

    Bone is also consists of:

    Bone forming cells (osteoblasts and osteocytes)

    Bone resorbing cells (osteoclasts)

    Non mineral matrix of collagen and noncollagenous proteins (osteoid)

    Inorganic mineral salts deposited within the matrix

    Bone ends up being a good example of resilience because it is not static like it is perceived to be
