Bone Matrix is Rich in (a) Fluoride and Calcium (b) Calcium and Phosphorus (c) Calcium and Potassium (d) Phosphorus and Potassium

Answer: Calcium and Phosphorus

• Bones are the living tissues that make the body skeleton

• Bone Matrix is the complex and sorted framework that gives mechanical support

• It consists of materials like inorganic bone salt and collagen fibres

• It is rich in Calcium and Phosphorus

• It is a protein matrix which contains the above minerals and gets deposited to form bones

• It also contains other minerals like sodium, magnesium and bicarbonates in small amounts with Calcium and Phosphorus

• Bone matrix provides most of the mass to the bone

• Bone matrix also contains organic components

• Organic components help resist tension, whereas inorganic components help resist compression
