- Abstract
Bones are a form of specialized tissue. They are very strong and durable. Bones in our body will elongate and grow starting from the time we are born until adolescence. The rate of development of our bones will also depend on, amongst other things, the amount of nutrition, exercise and exposure to sunlight. Sunlight helps us produce vitamin D - which is important for absorbing calcium. Our bones provide the frame and structural support required to hold our flesh, organs and muscles together. They also provide protection for our vital organs. For example the ribcage protects the heart and lungs, while the skull protects our brains. Bone marrow found at the core of our bones, is used to produce blood cells and to store fat. Bones also act as a reservoir for calcium storage. In this paper, we propose, whether the experienced violinists have longer fingers on their left hand or not. This paper involved violinists who have been playing the instrument for more than 5 years.
