This document summarizes bone histology and cellular biology. It describes that bone is composed of bone cells, bone matrix, periosteum, and endosteum. The main bone cells are osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. Osteoblasts form bone matrix and regulate osteoclasts, osteocytes maintain bone, and osteoclasts resorb bone. Bone formation occurs through either intramembranous or endochondral ossification. Cortical bone consists of tightly packed osteons, while cancellous bone is less dense and more elastic.
