components, namely the mineral crystals and the organic matrix, can be discerned. The organic matrix of bone consists primarily of a fibrous protein, collagen, and lesser amounts of other noncollagenous proteins (discussed later). In tooth, collagen is also the major organic constituent of dentin and cementum, but there is no collagen in enamel. Collagen is the same protein that gives flexibility to ligaments and ten-
In the very young, the skeleton is composed largely of cartilage and is therefore pliable, reducing the incidence of bone fracture and breakage in childhood. The inorganic, or mineral, content of bone is mainly calcium, phosphate and carbonate minerals. The organic content is a gelatinous material called collagen.As the body grows older, decreases in bone mass may lead to an increased vulnerability to fractures.one is a dynamic tissue and is constantly being remodeled by the actions of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. After bone removal, the osteoclasts either move on to new resorption sites or die; this is followed by a reversal phase where osteoblasts are attracted to the resorption site.
