Explanation:
99% calcium and 85% phosphate in the body is present in the mineral form in bones.
Hence the hard matrix of bones is made of calcium and phosphorus.
Stimulating net resorption of bone mineral releases calcium and phosphate into blood, and suppressing this effect allows calcium to be deposited in bone.
Final answer: Bone possesses a hard matrix composed of calcium and phosphorus.
