What is one important difference between a single bone and the bone tissue in a human femur bone?
A bone cell is a living cell, but bone tissue includes a non-living matrix

Is bone living tissue?
Yes, bone is living tissue. Bone is made up of living and non-living components. There are living cells (collagen, etc.) and non-living minerals (calcium, etc). It has a blood supply and innervation. It is made up of cells that grow and die. Bone can get infected. Bone can heal and be repaired.
What type of tissue has large amounts of nonliving matrix?
The bones have the largest amount of minerals, calcium and phosphorus, in its extracellular matrix. Teeth, which are specialized bone, have additional enamel that makes them even stronger. That answer has nothing to do with the question asked....but the answer is connective tissue.
Are bones composed of non living tissue?
Bones are primarily composed of living tissue, including bone cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts) that are involved in bone formation, maintenance, and remodeling. However, the bone matrix, which includes minerals like calcium phosphate and collagen fibers, provides structural support and is considered non-living. Thus, while bones have a significant living component, they also contain non-living materials that contribute to their strength and durability.
Are human bones considered living tissue?
No, human bones are not considered living tissue. While bones are made up of living cells, the majority of the bone structure is composed of non-living materials such as calcium and collagen. Once bone cells become trapped within the bone matrix, they lose their ability to function as living cells.
What makes up the living tissue of bone?
The bone marrow
Is the spongy bone living or non living?
Spongy bone is living.
How do you know that bone is living tissue?
The cells that make bone are living tissue but the actual bone itself is not living, it is formed by complex crystalline Calcium. You can tell because when a person dies the bone is the last thing that will be left after decay (and many years), if the tissue had been truly living it would have died and disintegrated like the rest of the organs

What kind of body tissue is both living and non living?
connective tissue proper
Is the bone matrix non living?
The matrix of the bone (calcified hydroxyapatite) is non-living; the living part of the bone are the cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts) and the periosteum, a tough membrane that covers the bone and allows tendons and ligaments to attach to the bone.
