Describe the functions of bone. in what ways does bone
participate in homeostasis?

Functions of the bones in the human body:

Support, protection, movement, mineral homeostasis

Explanation:

- Support: the bones provide a rigid support frame for muscles and soft tissues.

- Protection: the bones form several cavities that protect the internal organs from possible trauma. For example, the skull protects the brain against blows, and the rib cage, formed by ribs and sternum protects the lungs and heart.

- Movement: thanks to the muscles that are inserted into the bones through the tendons and their synchronized contraction, movement occurs.

- Mineral homeostasis: the bone tissue stores a series of minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, necessary for muscle contraction and many other functions. When necessary, the bone releases these minerals in the blood that distributes them to other parts of the body.

Molecule - they have a wide range of sizes and structures and perform a vast array of functions.

cell - consist of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane, which contains many biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids

tissue - an ensemble of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same origin that together carry out a specific function

population - same species that live in a particular geographic area at the same time

organ system - organs that work together as a biological system to perform one or more functions

ecosystem - community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment
