ABSTRACT
This project work introduced some knowledge about the basics involved in finding the contents of bone. This project work deals with the principle of qualitative analysis of cations and anions. Skeletal system plays an integral part of most of the animals “what is it that makes It to form an integral part?”. The solution to this question can be understood more succinctly from this project work.
This project indeed would be a revolution in the world, where there is increasing worry about problems of bone like osteoporosis and osteomalacia. In this industrial age amount of calcium content in bone is also reducing; this project work would indeed be a very good solution.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Bones are rigid organs from part of the endoskeleton of the vertebrates. They support and protect the various organs of body production red and white blood cells and store minerals. Bone tissue is a type of tense connective tissue. Bone comes in a variety of shapes and has a complex internal and external structure, are light weight yet strong and hard and serve multiple functions. One of the types of tissue that makes up bone is the mineralized osseous tissue, also called bone tissue that gives it rigidity and a coral-like three dimensional internal structure. Other types of tissue found in bones include marrow endosteum, periosteum, nerves, blood vessel and cartilage. “At birth, there are over 270 bones in an infant human’s body”. (steele D. Gentry et. al (1998).
