Bone is made up of a combination of minerals (hydroxyapatite) and organic material called osteoid (mostly collagen). There are also numerous cell types within the bone constantly breaking it down (osteoclasts) and forming it again (osteoblasts). The hollow part inside bones (bone marrow) produces blood cells.
Bones are therefore a very biologically active part of the body.
