AI overview
A bone is a rigid organ that forms the skeleton in most vertebrate animals and serves multiple vital functions, including protecting internal organs, producing blood cells, storing minerals, and supporting the body's structure. Bones enable movement and hearing while maintaining the body's chemical balance, and they vary widely in shape and size with complex internal and external structures.

Ett ben är en fast del av skelettet, som består av benvävnad. Ben kan bildas på två sätt, genom direkt benbildning eller indirekt benbildning. Det största benet hos människan är lårbenet och det minsta är stigbygeln.
