An osteocyte, a star-shaped type of bone cell, is the most commonly found cell in mature bone tissue, and can live as long as the organism itself.
Osteoblast
Osteoblast (from the Greek combining forms for "bone", ὀστέο-, osteo- and βλαστάνω, blastanō "germinate") are cells with a single nucleus that synthesize bone.
Epiphysis
The epiphysis (/ɛˈpɪfᵻsᵻs/) is the rounded end of a long bone, at its joint with adjacent bone(s).
Diaphysis
The diaphysis (/daɪˈæfᵻsᵻs/) is the main or midsection (shaft) of a long bone.
Bone resorption
Bone resorption is resorption of bone tissue, that is, the process by which osteoclasts break down the tissue in bones and release the minerals, resulting in a transfer of calcium from bone tissue to the blood.
Endosteum
In anatomy the endosteum (plural endostea) is a thin vascular membrane of connective tissue that lines the surface of the bony tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones.
Hyperostosis
Hyperostosis is an excessive growth of bone.
Cancellous bone
Cancellous bone, synonymous with trabecular bone or spongy bone, is one of two types of bone tissue that form bones.
Osteochondropathy
Osteochondropathy refers to a disease ("-pathy") of the bone and cartilage.
Osteon
The osteon or haversian system /həˈvɜːr.
Cortical bone
Cortical bone, synonymous with compact bone, is one of the two types of osseous tissue that form bones.
Periosteum
Periosteum is a membrane that covers the outer surface of all bones, except at the joints of long bones.
Osteomyelitis
Osteomyelitis (OM) is infection and inflammation of the bone and bone marrow.
Osteoclast
An osteoclast (from the Greek words for "bone" (ὀστέον), and "broken" (κλαστός)) is a type of bone cell that breaks down bone tissue.
Epiphyseal plate
The epiphyseal plate (or epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate) is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.
Metaphysis
The metaphysis (/mətˈæfᵻsᵻs/) is the wide portion of a long bone between the epiphysis and the narrow diaphysis.
Robert Wilson Shufeldt
Robert Wilson Shufeldt (1 December 1850 – 21 January 1934) was an American osteologist, myologist, museologist and ethnographer who contributed to comparative studies of bird anatomy and forensic science.
Museum of Osteology
The Museum of Osteology is a private museum devoted to the study of bones and skeletons (osteology).
Australian and New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society
The Australian and New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society (ANZBMS) is a not-for-profit collegiate organisation and principal professional body for scientists and clinicians involved in bone and mineral metabolism research in Australia and New Zealand.
Harold Frost
Harold M. Frost (1921 – 19 June 2004) was an US-American orthopedist and surgeon considered to be one of the most important researchers and theorists in the field of bone biology and bone medicine of his time.
