| structures found in the ECM? | lamellae, osteons, osteoid, trabeculae and periosteum |
| lamellae, osteons, osteoid, trabeculae and periosteum are found where? | ECM |
| the exact composition of ECM differs based on? | sex, age and helath |
| sex age and health influence what? | the exact composition of ECM |
| the main inorganic components of ECM are what? | calcium deficient apatite (HA) and trace elements |
| calcium deficient apatite (HA) and trace elements are what? | main inorganic components of ECM |

| deposition of HA? | biomineralisation |
| collagen is produced during what and acts as a template for the deposition of HA | mineralisation of tissue |
| what is produced during the mineralisation of tissue and acts as a template for the deposition of HA? | collagen |
| collagen is produced during the mineralisation of tissue and does what? | acts as a template for the deposition of HA |
| osteoid? | organic ECM of bone |
| osteoid consists mainly of what? | 90% collagen type I and some type V and 10% proteoglycans |
| in the osteoid, how much % is collagen type I? | 90 |
| how is collagen type I synthesised? | osteoblasts before mineralisation |
| before mineralisation, osteoblasts do what? | synthesise collagen type I |

| 90% of what in the osteoid? | collagen type I |
| 10% of what in the osteoid? | proteoglycans |
| osteoblast? | secrete collagen and organic ECM of bone (osteoid) |
| what happens to osteoid soon after being deposited? | becomes calcified |
| what happens to osteoblasts after secretion? | become trapped in the organic matter and differentiate into osteocytes |
