Explanation:
Bones consist of living cells embedded in a mineralized organic matrix. This matrix consists of organic components, mainly type I collagen—"organic" referring to materials produced as a result of the human body—and inorganic components, primarily hydroxyapatite and other salts of calcium and phosphate.

Answer:
Bone matrix
Bone matrixThe 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). Calcified bone contains about 25% organic matrix (2-5% of which are cells), 5% water and 70% inorganic mineral (hydroxyapatite).
