How do bones break and heal?

Answer 1

Listen

Your bones are tough stuff - but even tough stuff can break. Like a wooden pencil, bones will bend under strain. But if the pressure is too much, or too sudden, bones can snap. You can break a bone by falling off a skateboard or crashing down from the monkey bars.

When a bone breaks it is called a fracture (say: frak-chur). There's more than one way to break or fracture a bone. A break can be anything from a hairline fracture (a thin break in the bone) to the bone that's snapped in two pieces like a broken tree branch.

Answer 2

cells will come together and combine to make a new place for the bones but if u don't go to the doctor it would heal weirdly.

supplement. Bone is a piezoelectric material, and as such the electric charges are greater where the greatest strain is, new bone platelets will form where the stress is greatest.

In the literature, there are some amazing x-rays of bones that have first knitted crooked, but eventually reformed themselves into the standard shape.

Answer 3

Bone marrow grows new bone cells which attach and heal the broken bone ends.
