The primary functions of bone are to do with support and protection - mechanical functions. The aim of this chapter is to set out some of the methods that can be used to measure these properties in cortical and cancelleous bone from large (e.g. human or bovine) and small (e.g. mouse) animals. The difference between properties of the sample (intrinsic properties) and properties of the material (extrinsic properties) is introduced and techniques for measuring them suggested. The addition of other tests to give a complete characterisation of a bone sample is presented.
骨骼的主要功能与支撑和保护有关——即机械功能。本章的目的是阐述一些可用于测量大型（如人类或牛）和小型（如小鼠）动物的皮质骨和松质骨这些特性的方法。介绍了样本特性（内在特性）和材料特性（外在特性）之间的差异，并提出了测量它们的技术。还介绍了用于全面表征骨样本的其他测试。
