The document summarizes key aspects of bone structure and function. It defines bones as living tissue capable of changing structure in response to stress. Bones consist of fibers, cells, and matrix, and are hard due to calcification while also possessing elasticity from organic fibers. Bones have protective, leveraging, and storage functions. Their structures include compact and cancellous portions, periosteum, Sharpey's fibers, and bone marrow. There are four main bone types - long, short, flat, and irregular - and bones develop through membranous or endochondral formation processes.
