How is a bone similar to other living tissues?
Bone is not just similar to living tissue; it actually is living. It is classified as a connective tissue. The living cells in bone are called osteocytes. The osteocytes are surrounded by a hard matrix of calcium and phosphate called hydroxyapatite.
Can you get bone cancer of the teeth?
The teeth are not made of bone. They're not living cells so no.

Are cartilage and bone living tissues?

What cells build bone tissue?
In bone, there are osteoblasts (cells which build bone) and osteoclasts (cells which break down bone). In the bone marrow and spongy bone, there are hematopoietic cells (cells which make blood). 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.

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.
What are the minerals deposited by living cells called?
Shell, bone, a reef.
Are bones dead?
No. But some parts of the bone are solid mineral and have living cells that monitor them. These solid parts are regularly replaced or reinforced by living cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts) to maintain the strength of the bone.

How can you say that bones are living?
