Bone Anatomy (General Osteology) - classifications, Types, Shape
Bone Anatomy (General Osteology) In Anatomy of Bone (General Osteology) - Bone (os) is an organ consisting of bone tissue, including cells and a solid intercellular substance, rich in collagen fibers and mineral compounds. Bone contains 50% water, organic compounds (ossein), and inorganic substances (compounds of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, etc.). Outside the Anatomy, the bone is covered with the periosteum - a thin connective tissue plate that firmly adheres to the bone . The periosteum contains many vessels, nerves, receptors. The outer layer of the periosteum is fibrous , and the inner layer is germ : young cells are formed in it - osteoblasts , due to which the bone grows in thickness. In the case of fractures, a callus is formed from them. The outer layer of the bone is represented by a plate of compact substance , under which there is a porous spongy substance , built of bone trab...
