cortical bone

However, in patients on bisphosphonates, the cortical bone is also frequently involved as well.

"I can tell from the X-rays that her cortical bone is thin.

Cortical bone contributes about 80% of the weight of a human skeleton.

The primary anatomical and functional unit of cortical bone is the osteon.

As its name implies, cortical bone forms the cortex, or outer shell, of most bones.

Cortical bone is well vascularized by the surrounding soft tissues thus less susceptible to ischaemic damage.

Cortical bone is the hard outer shell of bones and the middle of long bones.

There was always micro-damage to the cortical bone (hat couldn't be countered with anything except grav- ity training.

Cortical bone is dense and hard and found primarily in the body's long bones and hip bones.

Eventually the inflammation and subperiosteal changes resolve, and hyperplasia of lamellar cortical bone can be seen.

It is made up of cortical bone and usually contains bone marrow and adipose tissue (fat).

Cortical bone, synonymous with compact bone, is one of the two types of osseous tissue that form bones.

Bone marrow cavities may be enlarged and the cortical bone may be thinned.

This limitation may be of importance, as Crawford et al [ 27 ] could detect an increase in cortical bone when statin was administered locally.

Tyrannosaurus rex forelimb bones exhibit extremely thick cortical bone, which have been interpreted as evidence that they were developed to withstand heavy loads.

Cortical bone (compact bone)

In osteoporosis (specifically Type 1, aka post-menopausal), cancellous bone is more severely affected than cortical bone.

"So we have two recorded periods of site saturation, followed by drier years, which have caused this flaking and peeling of cortical bone."

Testosterone may cause an increase in cortical bone thickness in transgender men (however this does not necessarily translate to a greater mechanical stability.)

The mean life-span of osteocytes has been estimated to be 15 years in cancellous bone, and 25 years in cortical bone.

It has been confirmed in in vivo and phantom experiments that cortical bones, whose major composition is calcification, are diamagnetic compared to water.

Cortical bone facilitates bone's main functions: to support the whole body, protect organs, provide levers for movement, and store and release chemical elements, mainly calcium.

Common osteoporotic fracture sites, the wrist, the hip and the spine, have a relatively high trabecular bone to cortical bone ratio.

Out findings of an apparently greater adverse effect on trabecular rather than cortical bone is in keeping with other publications on the effect of prednisolone.

The part of the alveolar bone that lines the socket is a thin layer of dense cortical bone called the lamina dura.
