Individual bones or groups of bones provide a framework for the attachment of soft tissues and organs.

fluids. Minerals also take part in various physiological processes, and several are important as enzyme cofactors.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. The calcium salts of bone are a valuable mineral reserve that

[Link] muscle – the fascicles are parallel to the long axis of the muscle.
Most of the skeletal muscles in the body are parallel muscles.
[Link] muscle – muscle fascicles extending over a broad area
come together, or converge, on a common attachment site.
c. Pennate muscle – the fascicles form a common angle with the tendon. Because
the muscle fibers pull at an angle, contracting pennate muscles do not move
their
tendons as far as parallel muscles do.
