A bone is a hard connective tissue
comprising the skeleton of most vertebrate
animals. Bone is composed of a network of
collagen fibres impregnated with mineral
salts (largely calcium phosphate and calcium
carbonate), a combination that gives it
great density and strength, comparable in
some cases with that of reinforced concrete.
