6. Why didn't Matt's bones break when he fell from his quarter-mile flight? ~6:00 and 7:15 Matt's bones did not break because they are flexible. He was also knocked out by a lamp, which caused his muscles to be totally relaxed and allows his bones to evenly absorb the shock of landing.

The skeleton is made of bone to provide a strong framework to support and protect the soft organs (such as the brain, heart, and lungs) from injury. Bone works with muscle to hold up the body when we stand and to move the body when we walk or run. Bone houses the bone marrow, which makes blood cells.

What did Matt's bones protect? ~3:00 His bones protected his internal organs. His bones protected his internal organs .

How did his brain play a partin the move of the bolder? Normally, we only use 1/3 of our muscle strength. In this case, the hiker's brain knew he was in a life or death situation, therefore allowing him to activate most of his muscle strength and use it to survive. Normally , we only use 1 / 3 of our muscle strength .

Our body is adapted to movements as seen by the street gymnasts as running can put stress 3 times our body weight on our legs, and jumping can put stress 10 times our body weight on our skeleton, yet our legs are adapted to absorb energy in order to handle that shock.

Like other organs, bones are valuable and have many functions. Besides providing shape to the human body, bones permit locomotion, motor capability, protect vital organs, facilitate breathing, play a role in homeostasis, and produce a variety of cells in the marrow critical for survival.

Sprains occur when a joint is forced beyond its normal range of motion, such as when one turns too quickly or rolls the ankle. A strain is an injury that involves the stretching or tearing of a Musculo-tendinous (muscle and tendon) structure.

The hiker was able to move a large boulder off his body because he released all the power in his muscles because the brain activated all the fibers at once in his arm & shoulder muscles, firing in one powerful push.

The bone is very strong yet flexible which allows for Matts injuries to be very minimal. The bone is made up of collagen as a framework and calcium. Both of these materials contribute to the hardness and flexibility properties that allow for them to be very hard to break and protect the internal organs.
