Bone tissue appears almost exactly like the cross section of a tree. Each individual tree represents the functional unit of bone connective tissue, or an osteon. The center circle is called the Haversian, or central, canal. The blood and nerve supply of bone (remember, it's a living tissue; therefore, oxygen is delivered to bone via red blood cells and carbon dioxide is taken away) runs through the Haversian canal.

What type of connective tissue Matrix is hard due to calcium salts forms the hip bone?

The type of connective tissue matrix that is hard due to calcium salts and forms the hip bone is known as bone tissue, specifically osseous tissue. This matrix is mineralized, primarily composed of hydroxyapatite crystals, which provide strength and rigidity. Bone tissue also contains collagen fibers that contribute to its structural integrity and flexibility. Overall, this unique composition allows bones to support the body and protect vital organs.
