Document Summary

Dry bone matter basis = bone dried with all water removed. Subjected to high temp = all burned off = fibrous tissues and cells. Gags = glycoaminohlycans/glycoproteins which contain chondroitin sulfate = type of ct = found btw cells and collagen fibers. Chondrotin sulfate a sulfated gags = provides resistance to compression in day to day activities. All make up a matric with collagen fibers embedded in the gags = background structure/organic framework of bone. Resilience, toughness and flexibility = durability and ability to return to its original form no matter how its handled. High temp furnance = remove organic tissue/organic framework. If you touch it, it crumbles = removed the framework that was holding all the mineral salts together. Subjected to high temp = will still be there. A lot of ca in bone = 10 cc bone contains 10g ca = 6mg/10cc in most tissues = 10mg/100ml in blood.
