first off the nature of shapes and structures (honey comb like) reduces weight without much of a decrease in strength.

next hydroxylapatite is the major component of bone and gives it it's compressive strength.

and finally there is another side the the strength of bone. collagen helps the bone not to break by giving it some flex. this may seem counter intuitive but a broken bone has no strength so collagen helps keep bones in working order.
