Bone tissue, or osseous tissue, is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body. Bone tissue forms the rigid part of the bones that make up the skeleton. Bones are organs that are made up of bone tissue as well as bone marrow, small blood vessels, epithelium and nerves.

The two types of bone tissue are cortical bone and cancellous bone.
