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 else can I help you with?
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

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
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 are the living bone cells?
The living bone cells are osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Osteocytes are mature bone cells that maintain bone tissue, osteoblasts are responsible for building new bone, and osteoclasts break down and resorb bone tissue.
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.
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.
How can you say that bones are living?
Bone is a tissue, it is living in a sense <doesn't have consciousness. There are small channells in the bone tissue that nourish it. A healthy bone grows, it supports and is involved in production of blood. Bones are made of cells, like all tissues, the cells have a metabolism.
Are cartilage and bone living tissues?
Yes, both cartilage and bone are living tissues. They contain cells, such as chondrocytes in cartilage and osteocytes in bone, that help maintain the structure and function of these tissues. Blood vessels also supply nutrients and oxygen to these tissues, allowing them to grow, repair, and remodel.
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.
