medullary cavity

It is similar to the medullary cavity in long bones.

The long narrow medullary cavity is enclosed in a strong wall of compact bone.

The cortical plates are thick and there is a medullary cavity.

Mantell noticed that the leg bones contained a medullary cavity, a characteristic of land animals.

The long bones of the limbs have cancellous bone in place of medullary cavities.

Yellow marrow is found in the medullary cavity, the hollow interior of the middle portion of long bones.

However, the medullary cavity is the area inside any bone (long, flat, etc.) that holds the bone marrow.

Medulloepithelioma is a rare, primitive, fast growing brain tumour thought to stem from cells of the embryonic medullary cavity.

The tibia still has some incomplete regeneration about the medullary cavity but appears quite adequate for normal load-bearing function."

Pain may be caused by increased pressure in the medullary cavity and the stimulation of pain receptors in the periosteum.

The carcass is pale ad oedematous and the red marrow has expanded from the epiphyses into the medullary cavity (P1.I).

X-rays may show an increased density in the medullary cavity of the affected bones, often near the nutrient foramen (where the blood vessels enter the bone).

They are made up mostly of compact bone, with lesser amounts of marrow, located within the medullary cavity, and spongy bone.

The humerus, clearly shaped to vertically support the weight of the body and presumed to possess a medullary cavity, showed that Pelorosaurus was a land animal.

Mesenchymal stem cells within mesenchyme or the medullary cavity of a bone fracture initiate the process of intramembranous ossification.

The tibia bone exhibits three pairs of parallel fractures, two percussion fracture cone in the medullary cavity, and extensive non-random patterned wear.

In fibrous dysplasia, the medullary cavity of bones is filled with fibrous tissue, causing the expansion of the areas of bone involved.

Blood production - the marrow, located within the medullary cavity of long bones and interstices of cancellous bone, produces blood cells in a process called hematopoiesis.

In anatomy the endosteum (plural endostea) is a thin layer of connective tissue that lines the surface of the bony tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones.

In the case of a "non-union", a fracture that does not heal, this is often evidenced by the obliteration of the medullary cavity of a long bone at the site of the non union.

The interior part of the long bone is the medullary cavity with the inner core of the bone cavity being composed of yellow marrow in adults, and red marrow in young children.

Singleton, EB, Merten DF: An unusual syndrome of widened medullary cavities of the metacarpals and phalanges, aortic calcification and abnormal dentition, Pediatric Radiol 1:2, 1973.

An intramedullary rod, also known as an intramedullary nail (IM nail) or inter-locking nail or Küntscher nail, is a metal rod forced into the medullary cavity of a bone.

Perichondrium layer surrounding the cartilage forms the periosteum, which generates osteogenic cells that then goes on to make a collar that encirclces the outside of the bone and remodels the medullary cavity on the inside.

The nails are positioned within the medullary cavity and can be secured to the proximal and distal fracture segments using transcortical screws which penetrate both cortices of the bone, as well as pass through holes in the nail.
