Not the tailbone; probably not arm or leg bones- ribs are pretty important, so are the spine and the skull

You are absolutely right!  A thick band of bone DOES in fact form around a broken bone after a break, and this thickening is called a callus.\n\nAlthough they may appear dry and lifeless, bones are just as alive as the tissue that surrounds them. Inside the hard outer part of a bone is a spongy center filled with blood vessels and special cells that constantly tear down and rebuild the bone from the inside out. Bone cells called OSTEOCLASTS are like a demolition crew, breaking down old bone material.  Meanwhile cells called OSTEOBLASTS are like a construction crew, building up new bone material as the old stuff is demolished. \n\nSo how do these cells help broken bones heal? When a bone breaks, a blood clot forms around the break.  The osteoclasts near the site of the break immediately begin clearing away the "rubble" (any broken shards of bone, uneven edges, etc).  Meanwhile, the osteoblasts create the thickened bone callus to replace the blood clot and hold the broken bone together. At the same time, the osteoblasts also produce new bone material to repair the damage.   After many weeks, when the bone has regained its structural integrity and can support weight, the osteoclasts function again to "chew" the callus away.  \n\nDepending on the bone and the severity of the fracture, after several weeks its hardworking cells can repair a broken bone as good as new.

At birth the human body has about 350 bones, but by the time adulthood arrives, some of the bones have fused together to give us a total of 206 bones in an adult body.

The only way to know is to call the police.  Its NOT a 911 call, but do call them.  They'll have the bone checked to see if its human.\n\nIf it is, they're the experts, they'll check out the whole area, and probably start digging, too.

Femur is the name given to thigh bone. In human skeleton it extends from the hip joint to the knee joint. It is the longest single bone in the human skeleton.\n \nBone marrow = Many long bones, including the one above mentioned, have a cylindrical cavity at the center . This cavity is filled with very soft, butter like or pulpy matter. this matter is the bone marrow. \n\nRed blood cells are constantly formed in the bone marrow.

doctors break your legs, set the bone after drilling metal bars into them, and bones grow in place of the bone that is now missing due to its 1 inch further down your leg, takes forever to heal, but yay, you have now grown 2 inches, very slowly, extremely painful but god damn, 2 inches is noice!

the flesh will be decayed \ninitially with aerobic bacteria\nafter oxygen become depleted\nanaerobic bacteria take over\ndegradation is less efficient in lacking of oxygen\nand I think the number of surviving bacteria will also be less than that in sufficient of air\nthe bones should be hard to be degraded in this situation

If the bone is growing together, it'll look a little fuzzy on the x-ray. That's where they are growing together.

The surgical procedure exists and it involves opening the leg,  breaking the bone in certain places, and inserting a rod inside so the bone can lengthen along it (All this done under surgical conditions by the way!). After the surgery, the patient would be under a lot of pain and would not be able to walk for a while. You can imagine why! After a length of time, the leg and bone is opened up again, and the rod is removed.\n\nIt is also very risky and irreversible, because in some cases the bone does not lengthen , and the patient is left a cripple. Ask your doctor, for more and proper info.\n\nGattaca is a great movie, one of my favorite movies, and inspires people to never give up on hope and dreams.

You might break a rib, or their sternum, but atleast they would be alive.

Cute, but I dont think new bones grow in place of others, if they did then no one would have amputated legs and arms!

Not infectious.Spread by blood from one site to the other within the same person-eg from lung to bone.\nUsually occurs in immunosupressed people.\nGradually damages bone-esp the spine over several years.\nIf detected early and treatment starts,chances of bone damage are low.
