Function Growth and Repair of a bone.

Function: The bones give the body it's form, protection, and strength.

Growth: The bones expand as you get older from something called endochondrol ossification & intramembranous ossification!

Repair: The repair of a bone is a very long process. It takes 6-8 hours for the blood clots that formed between the broken bones to go away. The tissue begins to grow around the bone and the callus fills the space between the broken bones. That takes 3 weeks. For the bone to connect it takes 3 weeks.
