Answer 3

Bone cells are called osteocytes. These are specialized cells that build the bone. The osterocytes nucleus contains D.N.A. They also come from osteoblasts. Some of the osteoblasts turn into osteocytes while the new bone is being formed, and new bone then surrounds the osteocytes. These cells can sense pressures or cracks in the bone and help to direct where osteoclasts will dissolve the bone.

Answer 4

The human skeleton provides structure and support to the body, protects internal organs, and allows for movement through joints and muscles. It is composed of bones that grow and develop throughout a person's life, with the ability to repair and remodel in response to stress and physical activity. The skeleton also serves as a storage site for minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, as well as being a critical component in blood cell production.
