Topic: Bone (disambiguation)


  
 Bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bone is a relatively hard and lightweight composite material, formed mostly of calcium phosphate in the chemical arrangement termed calcium hydroxyapatite.
Intramembranous ossification mainly occurs during formation of the flat bones of the skull ; the bone is formed from mesenchyme tissue.
The diaphyses and the epiphyses of long bones remain separated by a growing zone of cartilage (the metaphysis) until the child reaches skeletal maturity (18 to 25 years of age), whereupon the cartilage ossifies, fusing the two together.

Cancellous bone is trabecular, it has a relatively high surface area, but forms a smaller portion of the skeleton.
While the majority of long bones are formed of cortical material; at the ends are the epiphysis, which are generally composed of cancellous material and red marrow.
Development of bone (known as ossification) proceeds by the laying down of dense connective tissue and its replacement by a trabecular network forming a primary spongiosum.
