Lecture on osteology. The multilevel character of mineral matrix structure and the mechanisms of its formation

The authors present the analysis of the literature data on bone tissue mineral matrix structure as a lecture. In their opinion, it represents a four-level structure. The first level is the internal structure of a mineral, the second mineral morphology, the third coplanar integration of minerals, and the fourth macrostructural integration of minerals in a single complex within each bone organ. The most probable mechanisms determining the stability of reproduction of mineral matrix parameters at each level are shown. As a result of their functioning those variants of mineral matrix structure are formed which are the programmed reflection of the specificity of the site of organic structures given.
