Scope note: | A specialized CONNECTIVE TISSUE that is the main constituent of the SKELETON. The principal cellular component of bone is comprised of OSTEOBLASTS; OSTEOCYTES; and OSTEOCLASTS, while FIBRILLAR COLLAGENS and hydroxyapatite crystals form the BONE MATRIX. |
Annotation: | /cytol: consider also OSTEOBLASTS; OSTEOCLASTS; OSTEOCYTES; /embryol: consider also OSTEOGENESIS; /surg: consider also OSTEOTOMY or ARTHRODESIS or FRACTURE FIXATION & its specifics; differentiate from SKELETON which is almost never used: restrict SKELETON to bone arrangement as a whole & not for "skeletal" which usually means "bone" (= BONE AND BONES); inflammation = OSTEITIS; necrosis = OSTEONECROSIS; |
Allowable Qualifiers: |
AB abnormalities AH anatomy & histology BS blood supply CH chemistry CY cytology DE drug effects DG diagnostic imaging EM embryology EN enzymology IM immunology IN injuries IR innervation ME metabolism MI microbiology PA pathology PH physiology PP physiopathology PS parasitology RE radiation effects SU surgery UL ultrastructure VI virology |
Online Note: | use BONE TRANSPLANTATION to search BONE AND BONES/transplantation 1966-89 |
History Note: | /transplantation was BONE TRANSPLANTATION 1963-65; was BONE AND BONES/transplantation 1966-89 |
