The Bones

	The human skeleton consists of more than 200 individual bones, all fulfilling different tasks. In addition to cartilage tissue, our bodies are supported by bone tissue. Bone tissue provides protection for the soft parts underneath it and serves as a point of insertion for the muscles. Another important role of bone is its metabolic activity (calcium household, blood formation in red bone marrow).
