Bone is a type of connective tissue that is made of specialized cells that all work together for a common function. Their cellular and extracellular matrix is what makes bone cells so unique. Yes. Bones contain tissues and cells. They have cells called chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and osteocytes. And the tissues they form make connective tissue called bone.
