CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROTEINS

Abstract

Bone tissue is a specialized mineralized type of connective tissue. Being the basis of the musculoskeletal system, it performs the function of mechanical protection of internal organs from external influences. Bone tissue stores up to 95% of inorganic substances, including 99% of calcium reserves, 87% of phosphorus and 58% of magnesium.  Bone tissue contains 4 types of cells: osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts and stem cells.
