Structure and strength of bones

Principle

The different bones of the human body are subject to different stresses and strains. Due to their structural differences you can distinguish between flat bones and long bones. They can also be distinguished by the process of bone formation, the ossification: Flat bones are formed from connective tissue, whereas long bones develop out of cartilage tissue.
