  • The matrix or ground substance of bone is made up of organic as well as inorganic substances. Hydroxyapatite is responsible for providing the compressive strength while collagen fibres are responsible for providing tensile strength.
  • The mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts.
  • Osteoblasts are responsible for making the bone tissue by secreting the ECM and fibres.
