    The matrix comprises the major constituents of bone. It has inorganic and organic parts. The inorganic is mainly crystalline mineral salts and calcium, which is present in the form of hydroxyapatite. The matrix is initialy laid down as unmineralized osteoid mineralisation involves osteoblasts secreting vesicles containing alkaline phosphatase. This cleaves the phosphate groups and acts as the foci for calcium and phosphate deposition.

    The pulmonary arteries transport deoxygenated blood to the left and right lungs. And interesting fact is that the pulmonary arteries are the only arteries that carry deoxygenated blood. All other arteries deliver blood, enriched with oxygen and other nutrients to our body's tissues. Conversely, the pulmonary veins transport oxygenated blood from the left and right lungs to the heart , while all other veins carry deoxygenated blood and waste products. Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from heart to lungs.
