Bone Laboratory
Adult Bone
Some Useful Terms Compact bone = cortical bone Trabecular bone = spongy = cancellous bone Osteoid: Bone matrix not yet calcified. Woven bone: immature bone with randomly arranged collagen fibers. Produced when osteoblasts rapidly produce osteoid as in fetal bone development; fracture repair (callus). Lamellar bone: regular parallel bands of collagen. Woven bone eventually remodeled into lamellar bone. The normal form of bone in adults.
