What do the inorganic portions of bone tissue provide?
The inorganic portion of bone give hardness & durability but the organic portion of bone give flexibility
What is the effect of soaking a bone in an acid solution for several days?
The inorganic part of the bone is dissolved, leaving the residual soft and flexible
Which is responsible for bone structure organic portion or inorganic portion?
The skeletal system is mainly responsible for bone structure. Bone cells will constitute the structure of the bone with osteoblasts facilitating the formation of bones.
What is the intercellular material of bone?
collagenous fibers and inorganic salts.
What material makes up the majority of the inorganic component of bone?
calcium
What gives bone compressional strength?
inorganic salts
What is the bone matrix?
The matrix of the bone is portion of specialized connective tissue composed of intercellular, is contain an organic and inorganic materials 1- The organic material: collagen ( type I) 2- The inorganic material: calcium phosphate
What bone structure has inorganic salts deposited in organic ground substance?
Matrix
Which organic salts are stored in bone?
Bones contain hydroxyapatite, an inorganic salt.
When does cartilage start to be replaced by bone?
Inorganic Calcium salts
Is potassium an inorganic salt in the bone?
No, potassium salts doesn't exist in bones.
Discuss the composition of bone matrix and how this translates into the physical characteristics associated with bone?
the composition of bone matrix is 1/3 organic and 2/3 inorganic matter. The organic matter, synthesized by the osteoblasts (bone-forming cells), is collagen and proteins like glycosaminoglycan, proteoglycan, and glycoprotiens. the inorganic matter is mostly crystallized calcium phosphate salts and calcium carbonate, and a few other minerals. bone matrix is a composite which means it has characteristics of of the hard, strong inorganic matter and some flexibility and give from the collagen.
