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.
