Bones stop growing in length between the ages of 16 and 18‚ but continue to increase in density until you are in your late 20s. From about the age of 35‚ you gradually lose bone density. This is a normal part of ageing‚ but for some people it can lead to osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures. Other things that increase the risk of developing osteoporosis include: diseases

But the 206 bones of the human skeleton can also tell a story. The specific structure of your bones reveals information about your gender‚ your height‚ your age and even your ethnicity. These biological clues are often the first pieces of evidence scientists

Bones support‚ move‚ and protect the body; they also give us our features. But without bone cells we would have no bones. Bone cells are the living units that make up your bones and keep them functioning. Bone cells have two major roles‚ which are the production of new bones and resorption or destruction of old bone. They also carry out other small roles. There are four main types of bone cells: Osteogenic‚ which are bone cells that respond to traumas‚ osteoblasts‚ which form bone matrix around themselves

Measurements are taken to compare it with the other matching limb. X-rays and bone density analysis tests are sometimes also needed too. Causes
