Bone the organ

The organ, bone, consists of the tissue bone, its surface coverings, marrow, and nerve and blood supplies. In this image two wedges of pubic bones are separated by a centrally located pubic symphysis of hyaline cartilage. The feathery, red strands radiating from the bone are skeletal muscles. 10x

Bone > <p>A wedge-shaped, red-staining, pubic bone extends from each lateral surface of the central, blue-staining cartilage. Bone stains red because of its abundant collagen and minimal ground substance. As is typical, the periphery of this bone is formed of compact bone while its center is filled with spongy bone alternating with islands of marrow.</p>

Compact bone

A wedge-shaped, red-staining, pubic bone extends from each lateral surface of the central, blue-staining cartilage. Bone stains red because of its abundant collagen and minimal ground substance. As is typical, the periphery of this bone is formed of compact bone while its center is filled with spongy bone alternating with islands of marrow.

Spongy bone

A wedge-shaped, red-staining, pubic bone extends from each lateral surface of the central, blue-staining cartilage. Bone stains red because of its abundant collagen and minimal ground substance. As is typical, the periphery of this bone is formed of compact bone while its center is filled with spongy bone alternating with islands of marrow.
