What are the cells that produce organic matrix in bone?
The cells that produce the collagen and inorganic salts of bone matrix are osteocytes. Osteocytes maintain the protein and mineral content of the bone matrix. Osteogenesis is the production of new bone matrix.
What does hydroxyapatite do for bones?
Hydroxyapatite is what makes the matrix of bone hard.
What does Osteocytes secrete?
Osteocytes become surrounded by bone matrix and are relatively inactive, but do have the capability to produce components needed to maintain the bone matrix if needed. Lacunae osteoblasts change into osteocytes.
What is the organic component of the matrix in developing or repairing bone?
The organic matrix elements of a bone are primarily collagen. This allows the bone to flex.
What is a connective tissue with stony hard matrix?
Bone.
Bone is what kind of tissue?
Bone cells are called osteocytes, and the matrix of the bone is made of calcium salts and collagen. Bone tissue is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body.
What are bones cells that liquefy bone matrix and release calcium to the blood called?
Bone cells that liquefy the bone matrix and release calcium into the blood are called Osteoclasts. Immature or matrix depositing bone cells are called osteoblasts.
Bone matrix is produced by?
osteoblasts
What is the function of the organic material in bone?
The organic material in bone, primarily collagen, provides flexibility and tensile strength, allowing bones to bend without breaking. It also helps in the repair and remodeling of bone tissue.
What is the process of tearing down and rebuilding bone matrix is called?
The ongoing process of tearing down and rebuilding bone matrix is called osteoclasts.
Is the bone matrix non living?
The matrix of the bone (calcified hydroxyapatite) is non-living; the living part of the bone are the cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts) and the periosteum, a tough membrane that covers the bone and allows tendons and ligaments to attach to the bone.
What is Osteoid tissue?
The organic component of the matrix of bones
