Fifty percent of skeletal bones are primarily made of a mineralized matrix, which consists mainly of hydroxyapatite—a crystalline structure composed of calcium phosphate. Additionally, bones contain collagen fibers, which provide flexibility and tensile strength. This combination of minerals and organic components gives bones their strength and resilience.

Parts of skeletal system and their function?

Bones: Provide support and structure to the body, protect internal organs, and serve as attachment sites for muscles. Joints: Allow movement and flexibility between bones by providing articulation points. Cartilage: Acts as a cushion or shock absorber between bones to prevent friction and damage. Ligaments: Attach bones to other bones, providing stability and limiting excessive movement at joints. Tendons: Connect muscles to bones, enabling movement and transmitting forces generated by muscle contractions.
