What are the six functions of bone, and what is hemopoiesis?
There are probably more than six functions and hematopoiesis is one of them.
-
Support—bones form the framework of the body and contribute to the shape, alignment, and positioning of the body parts.
-
Protection—bony “boxes” protect the delicate structures they enclose.
-
Movement—bones with their joints constitute levers that move as muscles contract.
-
Mineral storage—bones are the major reservoir for calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals. The serves as a storehouse for about 98% of body calcium reserves.
-
Hematopoiesis—blood cell formation is carried out by myeloid tissue.
-
Fat storage. A small amount but still can be called upon.
-
Magnesium and sodium storage.
-
Cushion jolts and blows.
Hematopoiesis comes from two words that mean "blood + making". It really will help you to learn terminology. You can guess sometimes an answer to a question.
The official meaning is "The process of formation and development of the various types of blood cells and other formed elements."
