Transverse Section Of Bone

The space between osteons is occupied by interstitial lamellae which are the remnants of osteons that were partially resorbed during the process of bone remodeling.
Transverse section of bone. The transverse section usually runs between the lateral ends of an organism from left to right or the other way around. If this be examined with a rather low power the bone will be seen to be mapped out into a number of circular districts each consisting of a central hole surrounded by a number of concentric rings. We also discuss what are osteons what are canaliculi what are trabeculae.
Plates of cartilage also known as growth plates which allow the long bones to grow during childhood. Concentrate on the preparation of a transverse bone section. Cross section of the thigh through the adductor longus muscle.

The finished bone section will be bonded to a microscope slide and so the first step is to grind flat and polish the part of the bone that will be glued to the. Area between the diaphysis and epiphysis at both ends of the bone.
6 if this be examined with a rather low power the bone will be seen to be mapped out into a number of circular districts each consisting of a central hole surrounded by a number of concentric rings. Diagram depicting transverse section of the fibula decalcified at a magnification of x250. An overview of the anatomical structures of the thigh can be shown in a transverse section that passes through the adductor longus muscle.
Once we stop growing between 18. A transverse section of dense bone may be cut with a saw and ground down until it is sufficiently thin. A transverse section of dense bone may be cut with a saw and ground down until it is sufficiently thin.
It consists of three muscle compartments anterior posterior medial which create movement by acting on the femur bone. The structure of a long bone consists of several sections. Forms the larger rounded ends of long bones.
