APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Bone is made up of compact tissue (the hard, outer layer) and cancellous tissue (the spongy, inner layer that contains red marrow). Bone tissue is maintained by bone-forming cells called osteoblasts and cells that break down bone called osteoclasts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bone is a unique organ composed of mineralized hard tissue, unlike any other body part.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hard tissue, refers to “normal” calcified tissue, is the tissue which is mineralized and has a firm intercellular matrix. The hard tissues of humans are bone, tooth enamel, dentin, and cementum.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bone tissue (osseous tissue) is a hard and mineralized connective tissue. Bone tissue is made up of different types of bone cells. Osteoblasts and osteocytes are involved in the formation and mineralization of bone; osteoclasts are involved in the resorption of bone tissue.

Detailed explanation-5: -Made mostly of collagen, bone is living, growing tissue. Collagen is a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium phosphate is a mineral that adds strength and hardens the framework. This combination of collagen and calcium makes bone strong and flexible enough to withstand stress.
