The skeleton acquires the maximal bone density—peak bone mass—at 25-30 years... Consequently, the periods of growth before provide the maximal opportunities for building the peak bone mass... Thereafter, beginning at about 30 years, a negative bone balance sets in, so that on average—1% of bone is lost every year, independent of sex. 2, record 1, English, - peak%20bone%20mass

À l'extérieur, l'épiderme est soutenu par des spicules d'un type spécial, les pentactines, qui sont des hexactines modifiés (la branche externe a disparu, et ne subsistent que les deux branches en croix contenues dans le plan épidermique [...] et la branche interne qui s'enfonce dans la mésoglée). L'ensemble des pentactines constitue le squelette cortical et ce squelette cortical est donc, dans le cas présent, «indépendant», cas fréquent chez les [Spongiaires] Hexactinosés. 1, record 2, French, - squelette%20cortical%20ind%C3%A9pendant
