What is the function of the calcium salts in the long bone?
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.
What makes compact bone hard?
Osteonic canals contain blood vessels that connect to the long axis of the bone. The blood vessels that are connected perforate the canals of the bone and provide vessels to the surface of the bone which makes the bone hard.
What type of bone tissue makes up the dense hard outer layer of bone?
Cortical Bone
What does hydroxyapatite do for bones?
Hydroxyapatite is what makes the matrix of bone hard.
What is the tough outer covering of bone?
Periosteum

What are the functions of the compact bone and spongy bone?
Compact bone makes the bones hard enough so that they can provide support to the body and protect organs. It makes up the hard exterior of skeletal bones. Spongy bone (cancellous bone) is in shorter, flatter bones, and at the ends of long bones. It has more blood vessels and usually contains bone marrow, where red blood cells are produced.
What type of bone tissue makes up the dense hard outer layer of bone?
Cortical Bone
What does hydroxyapatite do for bones?
Hydroxyapatite is what makes the matrix of bone hard.
Is all bones hard?
By definition all bone is hard. Before bone is fully formed it is made of cartilage and so is softer but it is not called bone at that time in development. Bone is made of hydroxyapetite mainly a calcium and phosphate salt. This makes it hard.
