Bones and teeth (which are just specialized bones), belong to the hard connective tissues group, along with cartilage. Bones are made by a process known as ossification.Cells called osteoblasts lay down a cartilage template that gets filled with calcium and phosphorus in the area between the cells called the extracellular matrix. When they are done depositing these minerals, the osteoblasts become osteocytes, mature bone cells.ones are made by a process known as ossification.
