Renewing & Repairing
Every 8 to 10 years your skeleton is
completely renewed!!! Osteoclasts “eat”
the old bone. Osteoblasts build the new
cells
Your growth plate produces
new bone; you grow. As
soon as your growth plates
are gone, you are done
growing

Joints
No, not a joint you can smoke….. A joint in your skeleton!
Why do we have joints in our skeleton?
