Explanation
Bones are significant in the body as they facilitate movement, support weight, protect various organs, and serve as storage of important minerals. Calcium and Phosphorus are the most common minerals stored in the bone; they give bone its rigidity. Lipid, in the form of yellow marrow, is also stored in the inner cavities of bone. However, Iron, generally is not stored in the bone but rather in liver, spleen, and muscle tissue.
