  The University of Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist -- Bone Tools
The simplest means of modifying bone is by breaking the bone on an anvil with a large hammerstone.
Long bones of large animals can be cracked and broken into sharp splinters suitable for immediate use as picks or scrapers or for further modification into awls and other tools.
Since bone is not a universally well preserved material, we know little about the bone tool technologies of the cultures prior to the Late Prehistoric period.

 Mechanically Mediated Bone Adaptation
Frost believes that one reason that bone mass is lost is that the process of aging or disease resets the setpoints of strain sensitivity that bone cells possess.
In this case, he postulated that bone was a self-optimizing material, adapting its orientation and density in response to its stress/strain state.
is bone density, Qmax is a measure of the bone remodeling goal, and B is the coeffient from the structure function relationship.

Bone can be divided into two anatomic types: cortical bone, the compact bone of the appendicular skeleton that provides tensile strength; and trabecular bone, the primary component of vertebral bodies of the axial skeleton and flat bones of the skull and pelvis that provide a greater surface area for calcium homeostasis.
Recent evidence in adults suggests that bone mass inheritance may be linked to, or associated with, polymorphisms in the gene for the vitamin D receptor although data remain controversial, and evidence is lacking in children.
Since abnormalities of bone mass accumulation may not be repaired outside of the childhood years, an increased understanding of the possibility of these diverse group of disorders will allow the most effective therapies to be instituted at the most appropriate times in the child’s life.

Bones from this expedition made their way to museums throughout the world, and into Jefferson's home Monticello, in Virginia, where they can still be viewed today.
A French scientist, Louis-Jean-Marie Daubenton (1716-1800) demonstrated that the thigh bone of a fossil elephant from Big Bone Lick was essentially the same as the thigh bone of fossil elephant bones from Siberia, and both were the similar to the thigh bone of a modern elephant.
The bones from the lick are fossils of mammals that lived during the Pleistocene Epoch, often called the Ice Ages, and are much younger than the dinosaurs.

 Postgraduate Medicine: Osteoporosis Symposium: Biochemical markers of bone turnover
Urinary markers of bone resorption are particularly sensitive to changes in the bone remodeling state in patients with osteoporosis secondary to hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or Cushing's syndrome (5,6).
Two current indications for using bone markers in clinical practice are (1) to monitor bone loss in the perimenopausal or postmenopausal period and (2) to monitor the skeletal response to treatment.
Bone loss can be measured by repeated bone density determinations, but this does not provide immediate feedback to the physician or patient and can be expensive as well as inconvenient.

 Bone Fracture
Those with low bone density (osteoporosis), bone tumors, certain cancers, or a brittle bone disease called osteogenesis imperfecta are at higher risk for bone fractures.
A bone fracture is diagnosed by a physical examination and x-rays of the injured area.
Bone grafts, where healthy bone is taken from another area of the body to fill in the fracture, may also be used.

 Bone Density Scan (bone mineral density test) from MedicineNet.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
This is the natural, healthy state of continuous uptake of old bone (resorption) followed by the deposit of new bone.
The result is a thinning of the bone with an accompanying loss in bone strength and a greater risk of fracture.
Since women generally have a lower bone mass to begin with in comparison with men, the ultimate result is a higher risk of fracture in postmenopausal women as compared to men of the same age.
