This is my foot, X-rayed yesterday. Sharing because of the quality of modern imaging, stunning. And because the body is fascinating. Bone is actually tissue, obviously, as otherwise you’d have to be born with an adult-sized skeleton. It will also grow preferentially according to forces applied to it. For my bodywork friends, bone is a tensegritous structure, usually tensegrity models of the body make the bones the spacers (which they also are), but bone itself is also a tensegrity structure.
