Why is bone considered to be a living tissue rather than just a hard structure made of non-living minerals?

First of all, consider what occurs when one breaks or fractures a bone. How, if the bone was not a living tissue, would a break/fracture heal? Bone is comprised of its own cells, nerves and blood vessels. And yes, bones are very sturdy (at least on the outer surface), but they store essential minerals such as calcium, and provide the support the human body requires to "resist" the external force of gravity. Otherwise, we would just be piles of tissue lying on the ground.
