As you have realised, all
these tasks that are performed
by bone cells, which are too
small to be perceived by the
naked eye, are signs of a supe-
rior intelligence. That is be-
cause cells do not have eyes to
see with, yet they can build
bones. Besides, they can under-
stand when the space between
the two broken pieces is filled
and thus can decide when to
stop. Then bone-dissolving cells
notice that the newly built bone
needs to be fashioned, and start
reducing it. In order to do this,
they use a strong acid to break
down the bone, and give it the
most appropriate form by ap-
plying this acid in smaller or greater quanti-
ties as necessary.
As you can see, all bone cells know

A bone in your foot is different
from a finger bone. The lengths,
shapes and thicknesses of
bones differ from those of an-
other. Still, as you may remem-
ber, all are produced by the
same bone cells.
