The function of calcium salts is to provide hardness and strength and resist compression.
Structure and Stability -JSO and strength
Tissue that forms cartilage gradually becomes impregnated with calcium salts.
Bone is a composite material, like fiberglass (something hard [and thus brittle] in a matrix of a more flexible substance. In fiberglass the glass makes the (fishing rod) strong, the plastic makes it tough. In bone, the calcium salts make it strong and hard, the connective tissue makes it tough.
The deposition of calcium salts within a tissue
A calcinosis is the abnormal deposition of calcium salts in the soft tissue of the body.

Some calcium salts are organic, some calcium salts are inorganic.
Bones are formed principally from hydroxyapatite, a compound containing calcium: Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2.
Some calcium salts are organic, some calcium salts are inorganic.
Yes. Calcium carbonate is a salt and is formed from calcium reacting with carbonic acid. The salts of weak acids function as buffers. Carbonic acid is a weak acid.
calcium salts form the bulk of the inorganic material in bone. In addition, it's main function is to provide stability and structure.
Yes, they are calcium salts.
Tooth enamel and egg shells both contain calcium salts.
Osseous tissue has calcium, salts, and blood vessels.
Calcium salts are main component of bones and teeth. Calcium is very important ion in various metabolic activities. Calcium is vital ion for contraction of the muscles.
Deicing salts are chlorides of sodium, calcium, magnesium.
Calcium salts are generally considered as nontoxic compounds.
