They function to move, support, and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells and store minerals.
Because bones come in a variety of shapes and have a complex internal and external structure they are lightweight, yet strong and hard, in addition to fulfilling their many other functions.
One of the types of tissue that makes up bone is the mineralized osseous tissue, also called bone tissue, that gives it rigidity and a honeycomb-like three-dimensional internal structure.
Other types of tissue found in bones include marrow, endosteum and periosteum, nerves, blood vessels and cartilage.
