33
Describe bone design and stress
- Bones are typically loaded off centre - This cause one side of the bone to be stretched and one to be compressed - Tension and compression are greatest of external surfaces (compact bone location) - T and C cancel out internally (spongy bone location - reduces weight of skeleton)
