1. <span>The North Star, or Polaris, is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor, the little bear (also known as the Little Dipper). As viewed by observers in the Northern Hemisphere, Polaris occupies a special place. The point in the night sky where the projection of the earth's axis lies is known as the North Celestial Pole (NCP). As the earth rotates on its axis (once every 24 hours), the stars in the northern sky appear to revolve around the NCP. Polaris lies roughly one half degree from the NCP, so this particular star appears to remain stationary hour after hour and night after night.                     2.</span>

A hard outer layer called cortical bone which is strong, compact,dense and tough

A spongy inner layer called trabecular bone,this network of trabeculae is lighter and less dense than compact bone as a storage area for minerals (such as calcium)

  • Bone is also consists of:

Bone forming cells (osteoblasts and osteocytes)

Bone resorbing cells (osteoclasts)

Non mineral matrix of collagen and noncollagenous proteins (osteoid)
