The organic component of the bone matrix is primarily made up of collagen fibers, which provide flexibility and strength to the bone. Collagen is produced by bone cells called osteoblasts and helps in bone formation and repair processes.
The primary mineral found in bone matrix is hydroxyapatite, a crystalline form of calcium phosphate. It gives bone its strength and rigidity by providing a framework for bone structure.
The mixture of calcium and phosphorus that mineralizes bone is called hydroxyapatite. This compound gives bones their hardness and strength.
No, compact bone is not homogeneous. It is made up of osteons, which are cylindrical structures containing concentric layers of bone tissue called lamellae. This arrangement gives compact bone its characteristic strength and resilience.
Collagen provides structural support and strength to the skeletal system by forming the framework for bones and joints. It helps to maintain bone density and strength, as well as contribute to the elasticity and flexibility of joints, tendons, and ligaments.
the collagen fibers of bone have great tensile strength(the strength to endure stretching forces), while the calcium salts, which are similar in physical properties to marble, have great compressional strength (the strength to endure squeezing forces)

Compressional strength is strength to resist compression (squashing) This is different to resisting tension (pulling). Some materials, such as concrete, are good at resisting compression but not tension.
