| bone regeneration | Renewal or repair of lost bone tissue. It excludes callus formed after bone fracture but not yet replaced by hard bone. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| bone remodeling | The continuous turnover of bone matrix and mineral that involves first, an increase in resorption (osteoclastic activity) and later, reactive bone formation (osteoblastic activity). The process of bone remodeling takes place in the adult skeleton at discrete foci. The process ensures the mechanical integrity of the skeleton throughout life and plays an important role in calcium homeostasis. An imbalance in the regulation of bone remodeling's two contrasting events, bone resorption and bone formation, results in many of the metabolic bone diseases, such as osteoporosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone resorption | Bone loss due to osteoclastic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone scan | <investigation, radiology> A study of the body skeleton. A dose of radioactive substance is injected and the scan (taken a little time later) reads the distribution of the radioactivity. (16 Dec 1997) |

| bone sensibility | The appreciation of vibration, a form of pressure sense; most acute when a vibrating tuning fork is applied over a bony prominence. Synonym: bone sensibility, pallesthetic sensibility, vibratory sensibility. Origin: G. Pallo, to quiver, + aisthesis, sensation (05 Mar 2000) |

| bone substitutes | Synthetic or natural materials for the replacement of bones or bone tissue. They include hard tissue replacement polymers, natural coral, hydroxyapatite, beta-tricalcium phosphate, and various other biomaterials. The bone substitutes as inert materials can be incorporated into surrounding tissue or gradually replaced by original tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |

| bone tumour | <oncology> A general term that includes both malignant growths (cancer) and benign growths in bone. most cancer in bone tissue is secondary to spread (metastasis) from a distant primary cancer (for example prostate cancer). Primary bone cancer (for example osteogenic sarcoma) or cancer that arises from the bone cells, is relatively rare. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bone wax | A mixture of antiseptic agents, oil, and wax used to stop bleeding by plugging bone cavities or haversian canals. Synonym: Horsley's bone wax. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bone wires | Steel wires, often threaded through the skin, soft tissues, and bone, used to fix broken bones. Kirschner wires or apparatus also includes the application of traction to the healing bones through the wires. (12 Dec 1998) |

| replacement bone | A bone that develops in a cartilage environment after the latter is partially or entirely destroyed by calcification and subsequent resorption. Synonym: cartilage bone, replacement bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central bone | A small bone occasionally found at the dorsal aspect of the wrist between the scaphoid, capitate, and trapezoid; it is developed as an independent cartilage in early foetal life but usually becomes fused with the scaphoid; it occurs normally in most monkeys. Synonym: central bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central bone of ankle | A bone of the tarsus on the medial side of the foot articulating with the head of the talus, the three cuneiform bones, and occasionally the cuboid. Synonym: os naviculare, central bone of ankle, os centrale tarsi. (05 Mar 2000) |
