what is a living bone?
Bone is living tissue that makes up the body's skeleton. There are three types of bone tissue,
    Compact tissue--the harder, outer tissue of bones
    Cancellous tissue--the sponge-like tissue inside bones
    Subchondral tissue--the smooth tissue at the ends of bones, which is covered with another type of tissue called cartilage. Cartilage is the specialized, gristly connective tissue that is present in adults, and the tissue from which most bones develop in children.
