The Ultrastructure of Bone and Its Relevance to Mechanical Properties
Bone is a biologically generated composite material comprised of two major structural components: crystals of apatite and collagen fibrils. Computational analysis of the mechanical properties of bone must make assumptions about the geometric and topological relationships between these components. Recent transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies of samples of bone prepared using ion milling...
متن کاملMotion Picture and Electron Microscope Studies on the Embryonic Avian Osteoclast
Time-lapse motion picture studies were carried out on isolated fowl embryo osteoclasts in vitro, the cells have an extremely active ruffled border, and show vigorous pinocytotic activity. Electron microscope studies on osmium-fixed cells showed that the pinocytotic vacuoles contained bone salt crystals (as well as material which could not be identified on morphological grounds), and that the fo...
متن کاملA SEM study of osteocyte orientation in alternately structured osteons.
Previous morphometric analyses, carried out by means of the light microscope under ordinary and polarized light, show the existence of a close correlation between collagen texture and shape, size, and spatial orientation of the osteocytes (Marotti, 1979, 1981). In woven bone the osteocyte lacunae show an irregular globous shape, whereas when the collagen fibers follow a preferential orientation...
متن کاملThe Occurrence of Crystals within Collagen Fibrils
Earl ier electron microscope studies have provided circumstant ial evidence for the existence of crystals within the collagen fibrils 1 of bone matr ix. In fully calcified bone matr ix there are no areas which are not replete with crystals; a finding which indicates tha t there should be a deposition of crystals not only a t the per iphery of fibrils but within them as well (12). The posit ion ...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical localization of collagen types I and II in the developing chick cornea and tibia by electron microscopy.
Monoclonal and conventional antibodies against collagen types I and II were used for immunofluorescence and immuno-electron microscopic studies of developing chick corneas (5-day-old embryos to adult) and embryonic limb cartilages. Secondary antibodies were labeled with rhodamine or ferritin. We found that the 5-day primary corneal stroma stains uniformly at the light microscope level with both...
