I was not expecting an invincible reference. Did a double take when I saw the word viltrumite

I got it right. I thought of it like this: hardness is important, yes, but there are many substances that are hard but also break much easier than bones. So, what helps cushion the blows of cars running over holes and buckled concrete? What gives planes' wings the ability to flex a little bit while cruising, reducing strain on the various jointed areas? Exactly that, flexibility. Shock absorption, suspension, a bit of "give" and bendy support. I thought about cartilage too which I think is part of the outer connective tissues that make up joints. And, well, ears and noses and stuff. Ehlers-Danlos causes malformations in collagen, and collagen is in a LOT of connective tissues, which is why it's a multi-systemic illness, affecting more than just joints.

This is crazy I just started watching invincible around the same time I found this channel for anatomy

I’m in my anatomy and physiology class in college and about to take a bone labeling exam, funny that this popped up today. Haha. Great channel.

Can't believe I actually got the answer right without having to ponder it for long. Proof that these videos really do stick in the portion of the brain that holds information 🤓

I haven't studied in years or understand the reference but I still remember 😎❤

This question is false! You can argue that yes, without collagen, bones are brittle, but what would a floppy bone do? It is a composite. It is all of the above minus mark.

Actually, it is the titanium nail in my femur that keeps it from breaking (again).

Collagen in human bones and collenchyma in plant tissues for flexibility. How has all of this stuff of biological names been named? Is there any pattern or what...

I've been taking a collagen supplement. I should be able to tie my bones in a knot by now.

So supplementing that has that as an additional benefit? That is great to hear

Hydroxyapatite trivia: there's toothpaste with it. It bonds to tooth enamel, plenty of research to show it can repair minor pits and damage to the enamel. The company that owns Sensodyne bought the company that developed it and immediately took it off the US market - but they're still selling it in places like the UK. The issue seems to be that getting FDA approval for a new toothpaste formulation is super expensive (toothpaste is a 'drug' in the US) and they thought it would both compete with their own brand and wouldn't make enough $$ to pay for approval. I buy toothpaste made in Italy which has hydroxyapatite which is sold here now. Apparently the FDA doesn't consider hydroxyapatite to be an 'active ingredient' like fluoride - and Sensodyne didn't think to make toothpaste with hydroxyapatite but without fluoride.

Want bones as strong as a Viltrumite's? Which of these components gives bones their incredible tensile strength, allowing them to withstand bending and twisting forces?
Here's a clue: It's not just about being able to fly through buildings! 🦸♂️💥
