Functions
✓ It provides structural frame to body.
✓ Support and protect softer tissues

functions.
✓ Take part in locomotion and

✓ Blood cells are produced in bone
marrow.

ZOOLOGY BY HARSH KAUSHIK


ZOOLOGY BY HARSH KAUSHIK
REGIONS OF A BONE
Bone is divided into 3 zones.
➢ The diaphysis, or shaft,
➢ The epiphysis, or the ends, and
➢ The metaphysis, the region in between the two.
❖ The diaphysis contains the medulla of the bone, which houses
bone marrow. The marrow is the primary tissue responsible
for the production of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets.
❖ The epiphysis is the terminal end of the long bone that is
typically responsible for articulation. It is also the primary
source of red bone marrow in long bones, which allows
erythropoiesis.
❖ The metaphysis is the region of the bone that contains the
epiphyseal plate in children, which is responsible for growth
as it remains cartilaginous until after puberty. After ossification
in adulthood, the metaphysis is primarily responsible for
transferring load bearing from the epiphysis to the diaphysis.

EFFECT OF HCl and KOH ON BONE
Effect of HCl on Bone: Bone becomes decalcified and
becomes Soft and Flexible.
Reason: Bone is made of minerals, and the most prominent
mineral is calcium. When a bone is dropped in the HCl
medium, the calcium of bone slowly starts dissolve due to the
action of the strong acid.
HCl + Ca ----> CaCl2​ + H2​. Afterward, the bone is depleted of
calcium but it does not "melt" because there are other
minerals that make up the bone such as potassium, vitamins,
and collagen.

Effect of KOH on Bone: Nothing happens to Bone.


Reason: Bones are majorly made up of two elements calcium
and phosphorus. KOH cannot demineralize the calcium.
Thus, bone-in KOH remain unaffected. But, the surrounding
muscles and connective tissue get dissolved, so that the bone
now appears clean.
