bone tissue
Skeletal tissue with a collagen-rich extracellular matrix vascularized, mineralized with hydroxyapatite and typically including osteocytes located in lacunae that communicate with one another by cell processes (in canaliculi). Bone is deposited by osteoblasts. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the bone tissue is
Skeletal tissue with a collagen-rich extracellular matrix vascularized, mineralized with hydroxyapatite and typically including osteocytes located in lacunae that communicate with one another by cell processes (in canaliculi). Bone is deposited by osteoblasts. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the human body.
Where the bone tissue is
It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the bone tissue connects to
The atlas records 65 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of bone element and skeletal element.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the bone tissue. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
Also called
Also recorded as calcium tissue, osseous tissue, osteogenic tissue, mineralized bone tissue, bone and portion of bone tissue. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the bone tissue?
It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What does the bone tissue connect to?
Part of: bone element and skeletal element.
Is the bone tissue the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
