KnochenmatrixOsteoid
KnochenmatrixOsteoid, also known as osteoid, is a type of organic matrix found in bone tissue. It is primarily composed of collagen fibers and proteoglycans, which provide structural support and facilitate cell adhesion. Osteoid is produced by osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation, and is subsequently mineralized by the deposition of calcium and phosphate ions to form hydroxyapatite crystals. This mineralization process converts osteoid into bone matrix, which is the hard, calcified tissue that makes up the majority of the skeletal system.
The composition and properties of osteoid are crucial for bone health and remodeling. It contains various growth
Abnormalities in osteoid composition and function have been linked to various bone disorders, including osteoporosis, osteogenesis
