Anyways, about 99% of that calcium is in our bones in the form of calcium phosphate, also called hydroxyapatite.

而大约99%的钙在我们的骨骼中以磷酸钙的形式存在，也被叫做羟基磷。

It does this by stimulating osteoclasts, the cells that break bone down, to release hydrogen ions which dissolves the hard, mineralized hydroxyapatite.

旁腺激素通过刺激破骨细来释放氢离子；破骨细是一种分解骨骼的细，可溶解坚硬的矿化羟基磷。

But others pointed out that the fossils were made from a mineral called hydroxylapatite.

但其他人指出，这些化是由一种叫做羟基磷的矿物制成的。

In the body, about 85% of the phosphate is stored in the bones, where it combines with calcium to make a tough compound called hydroxyapatite which is the stuff that makes bones hard.

在人体中，约85%的磷酸盐储存在骨骼中，它在骨骼与钙结合形成一种叫做羟基磷的坚硬化合物，这是为什么骨头比较坚硬的原因。

All of this from body parts that are about 70% mineral, made of an inorganic material called hydroxyapatite that is stiff when compressed, combined with flexible protein called collagen to keep you from shattering.

所有这些身体部位大约 70% 是矿物质，由一种叫做羟基磷的无机材料制成，这种材料在压缩时是坚硬的，与一种叫做胶原蛋白的柔性蛋白质结合在一起，可以防止你粉碎。
