While the soft tissue of a once living organism will decay and fall away over time, bone tissue will, under the right conditions, undergo a process of mineralization, effectively turning the bone to stone. A well-preserved fossil skeleton can give us a good sense of the size and shape of an organism, just as your skeleton helps to define your size and shape. Unlike a fossil skeleton, however, your skeleton is a structure of living tissue that grows, repairs, and renews itself. The bones within it are dynamic and complex organs that serve a number of important functions, including some necessary to maintain homeostasis.<\/p>\n  &lt;!-- pb_fixme --&gt;\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div>\n  &lt;!-- pb_fixme --&gt;\n  &lt;!-- pb_fixme --&gt;\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","rendered":"<div class=\"chapter standard\" id=\"introduction-ch-6-2\">\n<div class=\"chapter-title-wrap\">\n<h3 class=\"chapter-number\"><\/h3>\n<h2 class=\"chapter-title\">Introduction<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ugc chapter-ugc\">\n<div>\n  &lt;!&#8211; pb_fixme &#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 600px\">\n    <a><br \/>\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/kinsnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/694\/2019\/04\/600_Child_Looking_at_Bones.jpg\" alt=\"This photo shows a boy looking at a museum exhibit that contains two fossilized crocodile skeletons embedded within a large boulder.
