Bone-Innovations

A bone is a rigid organ that makes up part of an animal's vertebrate skeleton. Bones protect the body's various organs, produce red and white blood cells, store minerals, provide the body with structure and support, and allow for mobility. Bones come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and have a complex structure within and outside. They are lightweight but heavy and durable, and they serve many functions. Bone tissue (osseous tissue), a form of dense connective tissue, is a hard tissue. Internally, it has a matrix similar to a honeycomb, which helps to give the bone rigidity. Bone tissue is composed of various bone cell types. The formation involves the osteoblasts and osteocytes. The mineralized bone tissue matrix has a mainly collagen organic component called ossein, and an inorganic component of bone mineral consisting of various salts. Bone tissue is a two-type mineralised tissue, cortical bone and cancellous bone. Other tissue types found in bones include bone marrow, endosteum, periosteum, nerves, cartilage, and blood vessels.
