The three main types of the
tissue are the , the

Osteoblasts are as bone-forming
cells they are the that secrete
the part of the
matrix (collagen, glycoproteins
proteoglycans). The bone is the
intercellular where the mineral
of the bones deposited.

Osteocytes are mature
osteoblasts formed these cells are

matrix. Osteocytes have function of
supporting tissue.

cells remodelate the osseous

throughout the tissue.
