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.

Are bones composed of non living tissue?

Bones are primarily composed of living tissue, including bone cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts) that are involved in bone formation, maintenance, and remodeling. However, the bone matrix, which includes minerals like calcium phosphate and collagen fibers, provides structural support and is considered non-living. Thus, while bones have a significant living component, they also contain non-living materials that contribute to their strength and durability.


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.
