This section takes a closer look at the internal structure of bones, revealing how they are built to be both strong and lightweight. It explores the differences between compact bone (dense outer layer) and spongy bone (porous inner layer), and how each contributes to strength and flexibility. The section also examines bone marrow, including the role of red marrow in blood cell production and yellow marrow in fat storage. Key microscopic structures such as osteons (Haversian systems) are introduced to explain how nutrients and waste move within bone. Through detailed explanations, this section highlights how bone is a living, dynamic tissue, constantly being maintained and remodeled to support the body and protect vital functions.

Bone’s Unique Architecture
● Bones are lightweight, flexible, and strong,
providing a frame for the body.
● Bone is living tissue with cells and protein fibers
wrapped in layers of mineral salts.
● Cells constantly remodel and replace old or
damaged bone.
● Blood vessels and nerves supply nutrients and
signals to bone cells.
● Bones can withstand stress and protect internal
organs.
● There are different types of bones.

A Long Bone Construction
To begin your origami construction, cut the blood vessel from the Small Bone End template.
Cut along the solid black lines, NOT the dashed lines. Fold along the dashed line.
Curl the sides, taping sides and top together.
Cut along the solid black lines. Roll lengthwise and tape to create a tube.
Cut along the solid black lines. Fold along the dashed lines.
Cut the sides, taping sides and top together.
Cut along the solid black lines. Fold sides up along the inner dashed lines. Then fold in half along the outer dashed lines.
Cut sides around, taping to the base. Tape sides together at the front.

Cut the sides around, taping to the base. Tape sides together at the front.
Bone shaft, folded before taping.
Cut along the solid black lines. Fold down sides along the dashed lines. Tape the sides lengthwise, but do not tape the flaps yet.lines.
Push the middle inward to make a central channel. Fold the flaps down & tape to the opposite side.
Slide the bone marrow into the central channel.
Slide the bone shaft over the tab of the large bone end; tape the sides and bottom.
Slide the bone shaft over the tab of the small bone end; tape the sides and bottom.
Insert the large & small spongy bone pieces into their respective bone ends.
Add the blood vessel.
