Hydroxyapatite consists largely of calcium and phosphate ions, forming a crystal structure that gives strength and rigidity to bones and teeth. So, in simpler terms, it's basically the stuff that makes your skeleton sturdy and your smile bright. Just remember, too much of a good thing can lead to some serious dental issues, so brush those pearly whites!
What else can I help you with?
In bone the calcium phosphate forms crystals of?
Hydroxyapatite. This is a mineral that gives bone its strength and hardness. It consists of calcium and phosphate ions that combine to form crystals within the bone matrix.
What is the chemical formula of hydroxyapatite?
The chemical formula of hydroxyapatite is Ca5(PO4)3(OH).
What type of smog largely consists of secondary pollutants?
photochemical smog
What is the main kind of vegetation in the Antarctic?
The flora of the continent largely consists of bryophytes.
Is Switzerland homogeneous?
No, it is decentralised. Switzerland consists of cantons, which are largely self-governing.
What is Hydroxy Appetite?
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite. It is the primary mineral component of vertebrate bone and tooth enamel. In medical and dental applications, hydroxyapatite is used as a biomaterial for bone tissue repair and regeneration.
Is hydroxyapatite organic or inorganic?
Hydroxyapatite is inorganic. Its chemical structure contains no carbon at all.
What two minerals combine to form hydroxyapatite?
Hydroxyapatite is formed by the combination of calcium and phosphate ions. These ions bond together to create the mineral structure of hydroxyapatite, which is a major component of human bones and teeth.
What mineral are found in a bone?
hydroxyapatite
