In this article we will discus about the factors controlling calcification of bones in humans. Also learn about the proportion of inorganic compounds in bone. i. Protein constituent of the cartilage has got affinity towards Ca++ and adsorbs calcium readily. However this favours the deposition of calcium as tricalcium phosphate. ii. Reduction of protein concentration […]
