 II. Osteology. 2. Bone. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
This series of changes has been gradually proceeding toward the end of the body of the bone, so that in the ossifying bone all the changes described above may be seen in different parts, from the true bone at the center of the body to the hyaline cartilage at the extremities.
Bone is one of the hardest structures of the animal body; it possesses also a certain degree of toughness and elasticity.
In the long bones there is a central point of ossification for the body or diaphysis: and one or more for each extremity, the epiphysis.

 National Cancer Institute - Bone Cancer: Questions and Answers
Cancer that arises in the bone (primary bone cancer) is not the same disease as cancer that spreads to the bone from another part of the body (secondary bone cancer).
Various forms of cancer treatments using surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy for bone cancer are being tested in clinical trials.
The most common type of bone cancer is osteosarcoma, which develops in new tissue in growing bones.

 Bone
The process of bone remodeling occurs continually in the embryo, fetus and the adult in order to maintain the proper shape of the bone during growth, and for adaptation to normal variations in physiological conditions and to changes in stress throughout life.
A non-lamellar form of bone (woven bone) is normally found in rapidly growing areas of embryonic or developing bone, and in healing fractures.
Mature bone of intramembranous or endochondral origin has essentially the same histological structure, i.e., the lamellar structure just studied.

Bone gives the skeleton the necessary rigidity to function as attachment and lever for muscles and supports the body against gravity.

 Exercise 8: Bone
The osteons of compact bone are a structural adaptation to provide mechanical strength under vertical loads, and the spongy portions of the bone aren't subjected to this kind of stress at all.
Bone is a truly remarkable structural material, with properties that make it ideal for its functions of structural and physiological support.
In addition to its importance in shaping anatomic bones, the process of resorption is used to release calcium and phosphorus from the mineralized matrix and into the circulation for other purposes.

 COMICON.com: JEFF SMITH ENDING BONE & TACKLING CAPTAIN MARVEL
In a quest the growth of the character is so key, and I think the Bones have been through a lot; they've been beaten up, betrayed, separated from friends and family, and found new importance to things they used to care less about.
I think it's unfair - only seeing a handful of images - to think that Bone is Smith's niche when he hasn't really done much of anything else...
Although most of us don't like saying "the end of Bone," it's something we're also anticipating.

 Encyclopedia4U - Carpus - Encyclopedia Article
The bones of the carpus do not belong to individual fingers, whereas those of the metacarpus do.
10] The hamate bone may be readily distinguished by its wedge-shaped form, and the hook-like process which projects from its volar surface.
The medial surface presents two articular facets; of these, the superior or smaller is flattened of semilunar form, and articulates with the lunate bone; the inferior or larger is concave, forming with the lunate a concavity for the head of the capitate bone.

 Encyclopedia4U - Sphenoid bone - Encyclopedia Article
Each bone articulates in front with the ethmoid, laterally with the palatine; its pointed posterior extremity is placed above the vomer, and is received between the root of the pterygoid process laterally and the rostrum of the sphenoid medially.
Medial to this is a triangular, serrated surface, for articulation with the frontal bone; this surface is continuous medially with the sharp edge, which forms the lower boundary of the superior orbital fissure, and laterally with the serrated margin for articulation with the zygomatic bone.
The plates are separated below by an angular cleft, the pterygoid fissure, the margins of which are rough for articulation with the pyramidal process of the palatine bone.

 Zygomatic bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its superior margin, rough, and directed horizontally, articulates with the frontal bone behind the zygomatic process.
The frontosphenoidal process is thick and serrated, and articulates with the zygomatic process of the frontal bone.
On it are seen the orifices of two canals, the zygomatico-orbital foramina; one of these canals opens into the temporal fossa, the other on the malar surface of the bone; the former transmits the zygomaticotemporal, the latter the zygomaticofacial nerve.

 Bone fracture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bone fracture is a medical condition in which a bone becomes cracked, splintered, or bisected as a result of physical trauma.
A stable fracture is one which is likely to stay in a good (functional) position while it heals; an unstable one is likely to shorten, angulate or rotate before healing and lead to poor function in the long term.
Since bone healing is a natural process which will most often occur, fracture treatment aims to ensure the best possible function of the injured part after healing.

The animal part may be obtained by immersing a bone for a considerable time in dilute mineral acid, after which process the bone comes out exactly the same shape as before, but perfectly flexible, so that a long bone (one of the ribs, for example) can easily be tied in a knot.

 Bone marrow transplant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the case of a bone marrow transplant (BMT), the HSC are removed from a large bone of the donor, typically the pelvis, through a large needle that reaches the center of the bone.
The technique is referred to as a bone marrow harvest and is performed with general anesthesia because hundreds of insertions of the needle are required to obtain sufficient material.
Bone marrow transplantation was pioneered in the 1970's by E.

 Bone Density Scan (bone mineral density test) from MedicineNet.com
This type of bone is metabolically slower than cancellous bone, and is therefore less affected by alterations in bone turnover.
As a result, if osteoclast and osteoblast activity become mismatched, cancellous bone is affected rapidly.
Cancellous bone (also known as trabecular bone) is seen in areas such as the spine and wrists.

 LJ Gibson Trabecular Bone
In an attempt to determine the phase (collagen or hydroxy-apatite) responsible for these similar creep behaviors, we investigated the creep behavior of demineralized cortical bone, recognizing that the organic (i.e., demineralized) matrix of both cortical and trabecular bone is composed primarily of type I collagen.
We developed a two-dimensional model of human vertebral trabecular bone and investigated its mechanical behavior using finite element analysis.
The denaturation behavior was character-ized by axial shrinkage at temperatures greater than approximately 56ºC. Lastly, an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) of our demineralized cortical bone regressions with those found in the literature for cortical and trabecular bone indicates that all three tissues creep with the same power-law exponents.

 Maxilla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In old age the bone reverts in some measure to the infantile condition; its height is diminished, and after the loss of the teeth the alveolar process is absorbed, and the lower part of the bone contracted and reduced in thickness.
Each bone consists of a body and four processes - zygomatic, frontal, alveolar, and palatine.
The frontal process is well-marked and the body of the bone consists of little more than the alveolar process, the teeth sockets reaching almost to the floor of the orbit.
