An Osteoid is organic matrix composed of glycoproteins, collagen fibres. They are formed prior to maturation of the bone tissue.
Osteoblasts produce ostgeoids.
Bone is constantly reshaped by Osteoblasts which build bone.

What is the organic bone matrix called?
osteiod
What are the organic parts of a bone?
Osteiod is the organic part of the bone. It consists of collagen fibers for framework, glyco proteins and proteoglycans.
What makes a bone a bone?
Osteocytes are the cells in the body that make bone. There are really two types of bones when you get down to it. Intramembranous and Endochondral. Intramembranous bones are formed in fibrous connective tissue and are only found in the bones of the skull and the clavical. They are formed when mesenchymal cells turn into osteoblast (the cell that creates bone) the osteoblast secrete a substance called osteiod which then calcifies to form bone. The other type of bone ,Endochondral, makes up all the other bones in your body. It starts as hyaline cartilage, as it develops a hard bony collar around itself it starves the inside for nutrients and the cartilage inside will start to die and calcify. a nerve like object invades through the bony collar and it is filled with a rich line of blood and nutrients. This invading "nerve" is known as the Periosteal bud. this bud carries with it the osteoblast which again secretes the material needed for bone formation. This formation then continues to spread from the center of it's ossification center outwards. Lastly a cavity is made in the center of the bone which houses the red and yellow marrow. The outside edges remain hard and the inner part closer to the center is a softer sponge like bone, making the bone lighter and allowing the passage of nerves and vessels.
