Answers
Explanation:
MALE BONES ARE BIGGER AND STRONGER, in both size and density. Peak male bone mass is around 50% more than women's, and women lose bone faster as we age. Black people have significantly stronger bones than whites: black women's peak bone mass is the same as white men's. WOMEN AND MEN HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF RIBS.
Difference Between Male and Female Skeleton
Skeleton system consists of a framework of bones and a few cartilages.
This system has a significant role in movement shown by the body. Bones and cartilages are specialised connective tissues.
