Calcium

The mineralized osseous tissue, also called bone tissue, gives it rigidity and a honeycomb-like three-dimensional internal structure.

The majority of bone is made of the bone matrix. It has inorganic and organic parts. Bone is formed by the hardening of this matrix entrapping the cells.

The inorganic composition of bone (bone mineral) is formed from carbonated hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2)

The organic part of matrix is mainly composed of Type I collagen.
