Primary bone cancer (for example osteogenic sarcoma) or cancer that arises from the bone cells, is relatively rare. (27 Sep 1997) |

(12 Dec 1998) |
| bundle bone | Immature bone containing thick bundles of collagen fibres arranged nearly parallel to one another with osteocytes in between; a similar type of bone is found in regions penetrated by fibres of Sharpey, as at ligament and tendon attachments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caecal foramen of frontal bone | <anatomy> Blind or caecal foramen of the frontal bone; the blind foramen formed immediately anterior to the crista galli by a notch at the lower end of the frontal crest and its articulation with the ethmoid bone. It is insignificant postnatally, but gives passage to vessels during development. Synonym: foramen caecum ossis frontalis, blind foramen of frontal bone, caecal foramen of frontal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |

| calf-bone | Synonym: fibula. 2. Bone from a calf (young cow) used in orthopaedic reconstruction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cancellous bone | Adult bone consisting of mineralised regularly ordered parallel collagen fibres more loosely organised than the lamellar bone of the shaft of adult long bones. Found in the end of long bones. Synonym: trabecular bone. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cancer, bone | Cancer of the skeleton. Cancers that begin in bone are rare but it is not unusual for cancers to spread (metastasize) to bone from other parts of the body. This is not called bone cancer, but is named for the organ or tissue in which the cancer begins. Pain is the most frequent symptom of cancer of the bone. Diagnosis of cancer of the bone is supported by findings of the medical history and examination, blood and X-ray tests and confirmed with a biopsy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cannon bone | The middle metacarpal (or metatarsal bone) in the horse. Synonym: shank bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
