Bone is the hardest of the connective tissue of the body. It is
composed of the nearly 50 per cent water; the remaining solid parts are divided
into a composition of mineral matter, principally calcium salts 67 per cent,
and cellular matter 33 per cent.
The structure of
bone may be examined by the naked eye when the gross structure is seen, and
with the aid of a microscope, when the minute structure is examined. Bone
consists of two kinds of tissue: compact tissue and cancellous tissue.
