Bones are only alive as part of a living organism. The bone marrow (inside of the bone) creates white and red blood cells constantly. Red Bone Marrow creates red blood cells while Yellow Bone Marrow creates white blood cells.

∙ 14y agoBones are living because they are always growing. Even though bones eventually stop growing vertically, they are always changing in width. Osteoblasts are bone cells that build new bone and they are always producing new layers of bone so keep bones strong. There are also bone cells called osteoclasts that destroy bone and recycle the materials that make up bone tissue. Osteoclasts work to counteract the activity of the osteoblasts so that bones do not become too heavy. They also break down bone when the body is in need of calcium and other nutrients found in bone tissue.

Are human bones considered living tissue?
Human bones are definitely considered to be living tissue. This is because bone grows and repairs itself as time goes on.
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.
Are cartilage and bone living tissues?
as long as it is inside a living organism then yes
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.
Bone cartilage muscle and nerves are considered?
Bones, cartilage, muscle, and nerves are considered to be connective tissue. Connective tissue is tissue that connects the systems of the body together.

What important difference between single bone cell and the bone tissue in a human femur bone?
A bone cell is a living cell, but bone tissue includes a non-living matrix
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
What makes up the living tissue of bone?
The bone marrow
Is the bone tissue living or non living?
Well my phere it is living
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.

How do you know that a bone is a 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

No. Bone is not.
