Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Bone is a hard-connective tissue that functions to support the body, protects certain organs and structures like the brain, and assists in locomotion. Bone is also the site of bone marrow, which can give rise to adult stem cells. It is composed of various bone cells like the osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Osteocytes and osteoblasts are involved in the bone mineralization, whereas osteoclasts functions in the bone reabsorption.
