The bones are dense, highly active tissues comprised of special protein fibers called collagen that become mineralized primarily with calcium and phosphorus. Their surfaces are constantly being built up and broken down through the process of bone remodeling. Osteoclasts are bone cells that eat away old tired bone and pave the way for osteoblasts to lay down new healthy bone. Beyond that provided by simple material density, strength is added to bones through cross-bridging in their microscopic architecture.
