We would look rather funny without them, bones that is. In fact we would look a little like a jelly fish that has been dropped into a soggy floppy pile. Here is Giant Microbes Bone Cell Osteocyte and this is one of the strongest cells we have inside our amazing bodies. Layers and layers of calcified cells coming together just like a coral reef. Mending, growing and changing throughout our lives. Pretty impressive stuff. Here is the clever cell behind it all. One of the most impressive builders in mother nature. But did you also know that your skeleton completely renews itself every 7 years. Now that is impressive when you think that you are no older than 7. I can love with that notion. Every seven years you get a new frame. This microbe would make an excellent learning tool and also for anyone wanting to add this little fellow to their Giant Microbe collection.
