Download Bone Osseous Tissue Under Microscope Pics. This video shows and explains microscopic features of bone. Bone tissue is one of the main components of the skeletal system (other components include bone marrow/marrow cavity, collagen fibers etc) like other tissues in the body, bones are made up of specialized cells that serve different functions.
Other types of tissue found in bones include bone marrow, endosteum, periosteum, nerves, blood vessels and cartilage. This is the osseous tissue that makes up the interior of bones. But, by observing its transverse section with the help of microscope, it appears like a design of discs.
Under the microscope, bone can be divided into two types:
However, they are distinguished by the presence or bone growth in length occurs at the epiphyses. Like cartilage, bone is a specialised form of dense connective tissue. Bone tissue (osseous tissue) is a hard tissue, a type of dense connective tissue. These structures are brought into motion by skeletal muscles.
