Bones

The bone is a living tissue which rebuilds itself constantly throughout a lifetime. The new bone tissues are formed by osteoblasts which secrete the organic matrix in which phosphate and calcium will be deposited. On the other hand osteoclasts are other bone cells charged with the disintegration of the bone, for example in response to physical attacks. They thus allow the bone to remodel itself.
