What is the main components of bones?
The main components of bones are collagen, a type of protein that provides flexibility and strength, and mineral salts, such as calcium and phosphorus, which give bones their hardness and rigidity. Bone marrow, a spongy tissue found inside bones, is also a key component responsible for producing blood cells and storing fat.
Why do bones bend?
Yes, bones have a certain amount of flexibility to them. The bones of an infant are the most "bendable" (pliable) and as we age they slowly replace the collagen that gives them their pliability for non-pliable minerals. As such, the bones of an elderly person are the least pliable, but usually still have some pliability.
Can you test the hardness of chicken bones before and after they're soaked in liquid?
You certainly can test the hardness of chicken bones before and after they are soaked in liquid. You can try tapping and bending them for example.
What is an extracellular cation that contributes to the hardness of bones and teeth?
Calcium
What are the essential components of bones and teeth?
calcium
What is muscle responsible for?
bones and brain
What gives bones strengths and hardness?
Collagen fibers within the bone matrix.
The hardness of bone is due to what?
The hardness of bone is due to the calcium salts deposited in it.The exceptional hardness of bone, which allows it to resist compression, is attributed to the presence of inorganic hydroxyapatites. Hydroxyapatites such as calcium phosphates are particularly important for bone hardness. Organic substances such as collagen fibers contribute to tensile strength, but not to hardness.the presence of inorganic hydroxyapatites.
What are bones responsible for producing?
Blood cells.
What is responsible for motion in humans?
muscles and bones
What mineral gives your bones and teeth hardness?
Mineral salts from calcium and phosphorus compounds are essential for making bones hard and strong. calcium is the most essential mineral to make bones strong but not all bones are as hard as you think some bones are "Spongy" but we just dont notice it. hope this helps if you need to know this....
What are the skeletal systems components?
The bones, as well as the skull, femur, etc
