      Bones are made in your body when you are still growing during your mother’s pregnancy. First a softer substance called cartilage is laid down in your body by specialised cells. Then bone cells develop from stem cells and add bone mineral to the cartilage scaffold. This makes it much harder. Then it’s like the bone you have now
