Name: Bones & Muscles
Released: 1994-09-17

In this episode, we explore the fascinating interplay between bones and muscles. As you clicked onto the Nye Labs website, your bones and muscles were hard at work, enabling every action, from surfing the web to simply sighing. Muscles exert a pulling force, and even when you push against something, like a door, your arm and leg muscles are engaged in tension, while your bones endure compression. They provide essential support, acting like sturdy beams. Despite their strength, bones are flexible and can swell when injured, revealing their rich network of blood vessels. Healthy stress on bones is beneficial for their growth and resilience.
