bone tissue
Let an agent explain bone tissue and its structure, relay cell types, composition, remodelling and disease from histology and physiology sources in general terms, describe the tissue of specific bones as the registry aliases name them, and distinguish bone tissue from bones as organs, from cartilage and from bone marrow.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
The hard mineralised connective tissue that forms the skeleton of vertebrates, composed of cells such as osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts in a matrix of collagen and hydroxyapatite, organised as compact and spongy bone and constantly remodelled; the registry aliases name the bone tissue of particular bones such as the vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, sternum and scapula, which are anatomical entities made of this tissue.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain bone tissue and its structure, relay cell types, composition, remodelling and disease from histology and physiology sources in general terms, describe the tissue of specific bones as the registry aliases name them, and distinguish bone tissue from bones as organs, from cartilage and from bone marrow.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Mineralised matrix
- Living cells
- Compact and spongy
- Remodelled
What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review
May

- remodelling: about 10 percent per year note - adult skeleton
Recognition required Filled
- Mineralised connective tissue of the skeleton
- Bone tissue of vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, sternum and scapula

Standards and interfaces required Filled

- Histology nomenclature
Context of use required Filled
- Not applicable; a body tissue.
- compact or cortical bone
- spongy or trabecular bone
- woven and lamellar bone
- bone tissue of specific bones such as vertebrae, sternum and scapula
- bone tissue in growth and healing

Open questions
- Should compact and spongy bone be separate primary entries?
- How should histology sources be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming the tissue of specific bones; should they be split off?
- Which entry fits the specific structure?
- Which entry fits the specific disease?
- Which entry fits bone densitometry?
