| bone conduction | The conduction of sound to the inner ear through the bones of the skull. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| bone corpuscle | <pathology> Osteoblast that is embedded in bony tissue and which is relatively inactive. (18 Nov 1997) |
| bone cyst | See: solitary bone cyst. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bone cysts | Pathological bone spaces in the metaphyses of long bones of growing children. They are of disputed origin. Cysts may be either empty or filled with fluid and have a delicate connective tissue lining. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone cysts, aneurysmal | Solitary lesions of bone that typically cause a bulging of the overlying cortex bearing some resemblance to the saccular protrusion of the aortic wall in aortic aneurysm, hence the name. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone demineralization, pathologic | Decrease, loss, or removal of the mineral constituents of bones. Temporary loss of bone mineral content is especially associated with space flight, weightlessness, and extended immobilization. Osteoporosis is permanent, includes reduction of total bone mass, and is associated with increased rate of fractures. Calcification, physiologic is the process of bone remineralizing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone demineralization technique | Removal of mineral constituents or salts from bone or bone tissue. Demineralization is used as a method of studying bone strength and bone chemistry. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone density | Bone density is the amount of bone tissue in a certain volume of bone. It can be measured using a special X-ray called a quantitative computed tomogram. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone development | Gross development of bones from foetus to adult. It includes osteogenesis, which is restricted to formation and development of bone from the undifferentiated cells of the germ layers of the embryo. It does not include osseointegration. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone diseases, endocrine | Diseases of the bones related to hyperfunction or hypofunction of the endocrine glands. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone diseases, infectious | Bone diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone dry | Having zero percent moisture content. Wood heated in an oven at a constant temperature of 212 degrees F or above until its weight stabilises is considered bone dry or oven dry. (05 Dec 1998) |
| bone dry unit | A quantity of wood residue which weighs 2,400 pounds at zero percent moisture content. (05 Dec 1998) |
| bone flap | Portion of cranium removed but left attached to overlying soft tissue structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bone forceps | A strong forceps used for seizing or removing fragments of bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
