(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.

| 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) |

| bone |
(bone) (b[omacr]n) [L. os; Gr. osteon] 1. the hard form of connective tissue that constitutes the majority of the skeleton of most vertebrates; it consists of an organic component (the cells and matrix) and an inorganic, or mineral, component; the matrix contains a framework of collagenous fibers and is impregnated with the mineral component, chiefly calcium phosphate (85 per cent) and calcium carbonate (10 per cent), which imparts the quality of rigidity to bone. Called also osseous tissue. ...

| bone marrow |
Bone marrow is the tissue comprising the center of large bones. It is the place where new blood cells are produced. Bone marrow contains two types of stem cells: hemopoietic (which can produce blood cells) and stromal (which can produce fat, cartilage and bone). Stromal stem cells have the capability to differentiate into many kinds of tissues, such as nervous tissue. ...

| bone mineral density |
A bone mineral density (BMD) test, also called a bone mass measurement, is used to measure bone density and determine fracture risk for osteoporosis. It may also be used to determine how effective an osteoperosis treatment is. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends BMD testing for the following individuals:*All women aged 65 and older regardless of risk factors*Younger postmenopausal women with one or more risk factors (other than being white, postmenopausal and female). ...
