The organic component of the matrix of bones
What is the organic bone matrix called?
osteiod
What is the organic component of the matrix in developing or repairing bone?
The organic matrix elements of a bone are primarily collagen. This allows the bone to flex.
What is the role of bone salts and the organic matrix in making the bone both hard and flexible?
Bone salts (calcium, mainly) lend hardness; the protein-rich organic matrix permits some flexibility

The term osteoid refers to the organic part of the matrix of compact bones?
Yes. Osteoid is the organic bone matrix secreted by osteoblasts.
In bone formation the cells that produce the organic matrix are the?
Osteoblasts
What are the cells that produce organic matrix in bone?
The cells that produce the collagen and inorganic salts of bone matrix are osteocytes. Osteocytes maintain the protein and mineral content of the bone matrix. Osteogenesis is the production of new bone matrix.
Which organic protein is responsible for the bone matrix that hydroxyapatite binds to?
Collagen
What cells synthesize the organic components of the bone matrix?
Osteoblasts
What is the name of cells that synthesize organic components of the bone matrix?
Osteoblasts
