Spongy Bone.
What is a inner tissue that provides strength to the bone without a lot of added weight?
Spongy Bone.
Why is bone anisotropic?
Bone is considered anisotropic because it responds differently if forces are applied in different directions. Bone can handle large forces applied in the longitudinal plane (tension and compression); bone is not as strong in handling forces applied transversely across its surface.The differences between the properties of the cancellous and cortical bone contribute to the anisotropy of the bone. Cancellous bone provides bending strength, and cortical bone provides significant compressive strength.
What substance contained in the bone provides for its strength and hardness?
Bone Marrow. It is red and is very important to your body!
What is A fibrous protein substance in the body?
Collagen is a protein that provides strength and flexibility in the bone, cartilage, and skin.
Which element provides strength to bones?
Bones contain the element Calcium (Ca). It is not this element but compounds made out of this element that gives bones their strength. These compounds are calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate.
Is length important for bone strength?
Length is very important for bone strength because the longer the bone, the weaker the bone, and the shorter it is, the stronger it will be.
