Csontszövetekre refers to bone tissues in Hungarian. Bone tissue is a specialized connective tissue that forms the skeleton of most vertebrates. It is a dynamic and living tissue that is constantly being remodeled throughout life. There are two main types of bone tissue: compact bone and spongy bone. Compact bone, also known as cortical bone, is dense and forms the outer layer of most bones. It is strong and provides support and protection. Spongy bone, also known as cancellous bone or trabecular bone, is located in the interior of bones and has a porous, honeycomb-like structure. It is lighter than compact bone and contains red bone marrow, which is responsible for producing blood cells.

Bone tissue is composed of cells and an extracellular matrix. The main cells found in bone are osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. Osteoblasts are responsible for synthesizing and secreting the organic components of the bone matrix, a process called ossification. Once osteoblasts become embedded in the matrix they produce, they differentiate into osteocytes, which are mature bone cells. Osteocytes are crucial for maintaining bone tissue and communicating with other bone cells. Osteoclasts are large cells that break down bone tissue through a process called bone resorption. This process is essential for bone remodeling, growth, and repair.

The extracellular matrix of bone consists of organic and inorganic components. The organic component, primarily collagen fibers, provides tensile strength and flexibility to the bone. The inorganic component, mainly calcium phosphate in the form of hydroxyapatite crystals, gives bone its hardness and compressive strength. The unique combination of these components allows bone tissue to withstand significant forces. Bone tissue plays vital roles in structural support, protection of internal organs, movement in conjunction with muscles, storage of minerals like calcium and phosphorus, and the production of blood cells in the bone marrow.
