Detailed explanation-1: -Listen to pronunciation. (AH-see-us TIH-shoo) Tissue that gives strength and structure to bones. Bone is made up of compact tissue (the hard, outer layer) and cancellous tissue (the spongy, inner layer that contains red marrow).
Detailed explanation-2: -Bone is composed of four different cell types; osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts and bone lining cells. Osteoblasts, bone lining cells and osteoclasts are present on bone surfaces and are derived from local mesenchymal cells called progenitor cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Compact bone: also known as cortical bone, this hard-outer layer is strong and dense. Cancellous bone: also known as trabecular bone, this spongy inner layer network of trabeculae is lighter and less dense than cortical bone.
