	Bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most bones of the limbs (including the three bones of the fingers) are long bones, except for the kneecap (patella), and the carpal, metacarpal, tarsal and metatarsal bones of the wrist and ankle.
		The bones of the wrist and ankle are short bones, as are the sesamoid bones.
		The bones of the spine and hips are irregular bones.

	The University of Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist -- Bone Tools
		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.
		Saw-tooth-edged tools were commonly made from the long bones of large animals, particularly the metatarsals (long foot bones) of bison and elk.
		The ribs of bison and elk as well as the long bones of deer were sometimes drilled with holes for use in straightening arrow shafts.

	Bonetumor.org - The Web's Most Comprehensive Bone Tumor Resource
		Bone metastasis is diagnosed in 4% - 13% of patients with thyroid cancer (Marcocci et al, Surgery 106:960-966, 1989 and McCormack, Cancer 19:181-184 1965.) The lesions are frequently lytic and their fracture risk depends on their location.
		In bones subjected to bending, it is the location of the defect that is important in determining the amount of strength reduction.
		Many different criteria have been suggested including the size of the lesion; the type of cancer that metastasized to bone; the location of the metastatic lesion; pain due to the lesion; whether the lesion is lytic or blastic; irradiation of the lesion; and the use of biomechanics to predict fracture.

		Bone volume fraction is defined as the bony matrix volume divided by the total volume and the porosity is defined as 1-bone volume fraction.
		The woven bone may become highly mineralized to compensate for the poor organization, but woven bone is generally weak and inferior to the lamellar bone.
		Bone lining cells are also retired osteoblasts but they have been escaped from being trapped in bone and remained on the surface.

	Bone
		A long bone such as the femur, consists of a centre piece, the shaft (diaphysis) and a thickened head (epiphysis) at each end.
		The ground substance of bone is arranged in concentrated layers (lamellae) round the small canals which run parallel to the long axis (shaft) of the bone.
		Red blood cells are manufactured in the red bone marrow, which is situated in the spongy tissue at the ends of long bones.

	Bone Structure
		Bone is also a good starting point because it illustrates the principle of hierarchical structure function that is common to all biological tissues.
		Cortical bone is found primary is found in the shaft of long bones and forms the outer shell around cancellous bone at the end of joints and the vertebrae.
		Conversely, all bone tissue for the purpose of classic continuum analyses is considered to be a solid material with effective stiffness at the 0th structure.

	Quantitation of bone rotation in 3D
		The long axis of the bone and the normal vector of the horizon were established from their respective segmented voxels using a principal axis transformation (PAX) analysis (15, 16).
		The bone radius, defined as the perpendicular distance from the long axis to the bone surface, was measured at regularly spaced angles around and at regularly spaced positions along the bone axis.
		Although the long axis provided a useful constraint for the coregistration process, the use of a long axis was itself a simplification because the configuration of long bones is not truly linear.

	BME 332: Bone Structure-Function
		The main features of trabecular bone structure at the 1st level are the high porosity and the intricate architecture and orientation of the complicated rod and plate structure of trabeculae.
		However, a significant difference between cortical bone 1st level structure and trabecular bone 1st level structure is the substantial variation in 1st level trabecular bone structure compared to cortical bone structure.
		This is a measure of the volume fraction of bone, or equivalently the inverse of the porosity.

	Long bones
		Long bones are hard, dense bones that provide strength, structure, and mobility (such as the femur or thigh bone).
		There are also bones in the fingers that are classified as "long bones," even though they are short in length.
		Long bones contain yellow bone marrow and red bone marrow (which produces blood cells).

		The cause of growth arrest is uncertain and may be the result of fracture associated with the cyst, iatrogenic (eg, surgical curettage of a simple bone cyst abutting the physis and damaging the physis in the process), or direct extension of the cyst through the physeal plate into the epiphysis.
		In patients younger than 20 years, simple bone cysts are found in the humerus in 55-65%, in the femur in 25-30%, and rarely in the tibia, fibula, radius, and ulna.
		The long axis of the lesion parallels that of the long axis of the tubular bone.

		If the bone is the same temperature, then the injury occurred some time ago and healing is complete; any attempts to treat it will produce little results.
		As long as it is there, this periodic 'pus' buildup will occasionally reoccur, and the knot around it will continue to grow bigger.
