MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -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). Osseous tissue is maintained by bone-forming cells called osteoblasts and cells that break down bone called osteoclasts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osseous tissue is a type of connective tissue. Other types of connective tissue that are important in the skeletal system include cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. However, unlike these other types of connective tissue, the osseous tissue location is always within bones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osseous tissues are of two major types: the compact bone and the spongy bone tissues. Word origin: L osseus, bony, equiv. to oss-(s. of os) bone +-eus. Synonym: bone tissue.

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: -There are two types of bone tissue: compact and spongy.
