The mineralized matrix of bone tissue has an organic component of mainly collagen called ossein and an inorganic component of bone mineral made up of various salts. Bone tissue is a mineralized tissue of two types, cortical bone and cancellous bone….
Q. What protein is found in both bone and cartilage?
Collagen is a family of insoluble fibrous proteins found in all multicellular organisms. It is one of the most abundant proteins in mammals, accounting for 25–30% of total body protein. It is also a major component of the skin, bone, cartilage, tendon, and blood vessels.

Q. Does protein weaken bones?
There is no evidence that high protein intake per se would be detrimental for bone mass and strength. Nevertheless, it appears reasonable to avoid very high protein diets (i. e. more than 2.0 g/kg body weight/day) when associated with low calcium intake (i. e. less than 600 mg/day).
Q. Which protein is found in cartilage?

Q. What is a bone cell called?
OSTEOBLASTS are the cells that form new bone. These old osteoblasts are also called LINING CELLS. They regulate passage of calcium into and out of the bone, and they respond to hormones by making special proteins that activate the osteoclasts. OSTEOCYTES are cells inside the bone.
Q. How many bone cells are in the human body?
Also, they provide an environment for bone marrow, where the blood cells are created, and they act as a storage area for minerals, particularly calcium. At birth, we have around 270 soft bones. As we grow, some of these fuse. Once we reach adulthood, we have 206 bones.
Q. What bones are the most important?
Your skull protects the most important part of all, the brain. You can feel your skull by pushing on your head, especially in the back a few inches above your neck. The skull is actually made up of different bones. Some of these bones protect your brain, whereas others make up the structure of your face.
Q. What is the most important muscle in the human body?
