Form Finding Experiments Trabecular Bone

- Growth follows the course of stress lines along the bone and maximum trabeculae develop along the lines of maximum stess.

- Both tensile and compressive forces are present and correspond to the lines of forces.

- Adaptation to alternative external loads.

- Spongy-like structure
