Explanation:

Bone, or osseous tissue, is a connective tissue that constitutes the endoskeleton. It contains specialized cells and a matrix of mineral salts and collagen fibers.

The mineral salts primarily include hydroxyapatite, a mineral formed from calcium phosphate. Calcification is the process of deposition of mineral salts on the collagen fiber matrix that crystallizes and hardens the tissue. The process of calcification only occurs in the presence of collagen fibers.

The bones of the human skeleton are classified by their shape: long bones, short bones, flat bones, sutural bones, sesamoid bones, and irregular bones (Figure 19.16).

Changing the surface area from minimum to maximum increases the number of reactants in a chemical reaction.

An increase in surface area of a solid reactant means more of its particles are exposed to attack by the other Particle. This results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles, so there are more collisions in any given time and the rate of reaction increases.
