Detailed explanation-1: -The hardness and rigidity of bone is due to the presence of mineral salt in the osteoid matrix, which is a crystalline complex of calcium and phosphate (hydroxyapatite).
Detailed explanation-2: -Calcium salts provide rigidity to bones and teeth. Without mineral deposits in the bone, the organic extracellular matrix (osteoid) would be weak and flexible, and the skeleton would be unable to bear weight.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Bone possesses a hard matrix made up of calcium and phosphorus.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bone. Bone is the hardest connective tissue. It provides protection to internal organs and supports the body. Bone’s rigid extracellular matrix contains mostly collagen fibers embedded in a mineralized ground substance containing hydroxyapatite, a form of calcium phosphate.
