What is the role of bone salts and the organic matrix in making the bone both hard and flexible?
Bone salts, such as calcium and phosphorus, provide hardness to bones by forming a mineralized matrix. The organic matrix, composed mainly of collagen fibers, gives bones flexibility by providing a framework for mineral deposition. Together, bone salts and the organic matrix work synergistically to make bones both strong and flexible.
What bone structure has inorganic salts deposited in organic ground substance?
Matrix
What are inorganic salts deposited in organic ground substance?
Inorganic salts deposited in organic ground substances are primarily composed of calcium and phosphate minerals. These salts can accumulate in tissues like cartilage, leading to conditions such as calcification. Over time, excessive deposits can impair tissue function and contribute to degenerative processes.
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.
Is salt an organic?
Salts may be organic or inorganic.
What percent of all seawater is minor organic salts?
Minor organic salts make up less than 1% of the composition of seawater.
What is the matrix hard owing to calcium salts?
Osseous tissue has cells that are arranged in concentric circles around a nutrient canal matrix and is hard due to calcium salts.
Inorganic calcium salts?
Some calcium salts are organic, some calcium salts are inorganic.
What are the ways of classifying salts?
Examples: organic or inorganic salts, basic or acidic salts, natural or artificial salts etc.
Why are salts an inorganic compound?
A compound must have carbon for it to be considered organic. You may come across the term zwitterions which are sometimes also called inner salts. They contain carbon but are not salts.
Why can a bone not grow interstitially?
Because of the hard calcium salts in the matrix
Is salt organic or in organic?
Inorganic. Salts never have both hydrogen and carbon.
