ossification.
calcification
Osseous tissue has calcium, salts, and blood vessels.
Structure and Stability -JSO and strength
Minor inorganic salts help to maintain the pH of the living organism. They also act as catalysts in certain biochemical reactions.
bone (osseus) tissue
High mineral content (calcium salts).
Because of the hard calcium salts in the matrix
Tissue that forms cartilage gradually becomes impregnated with calcium salts.
Inorganic Calcium salts
The hardness of bone is due to the calcium salts deposited in it.The exceptional hardness of bone, which allows it to resist compression, is attributed to the presence of inorganic hydroxyapatites. Hydroxyapatites such as calcium phosphates are particularly important for bone hardness. Organic substances such as collagen fibers contribute to tensile strength, but not to hardness.the presence of inorganic hydroxyapatites.
it is the formation of bones. This is the principal role of calcitriol. It requires both calcium and phosphate.
Bone salts (calcium, mainly) lend hardness; the protein-rich organic matrix permits some flexibility
