The phrase "a layer of bone" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to anatomy, biology, or any discussion involving the structure of bones.
Example: "The X-ray revealed a layer of bone that was thicker than normal, indicating potential health issues."
Alternatives: "a stratum of bone" or "a coating of bone".
Predictions of the tissue distribution in the chambers produced the two different classes of results found experimentally: (i) chambers with a layer of bone across the chamber covered by a layer of cartilage on top and (ii) chambers with almost no bone, mainly fibrous tissue and small islands of cartilage.
Knee flexion was controlled by the femoral construct, consisting of the femoral implant, a layer of bone cement and a distal femur.
The least significant items were "preserve a layer of bone overlying the facial nerve" and "preserve a layer of bone overlying the chorda tympani".
Similarly, we considered "preservation of a layer of bone overlying the chorda tympani".
Also included was "preserve a layer of bone overlying the facial nerve".
The items where a significant difference was not found were "preservation of a layer of bone overlying the facial nerve" and "preservation of a layer of bone overlying the chorda tympani".
A layer of bone-like apatite was formed on the scaffold surfaces after being soaked in simulated body fluid.
Additionally, immersing an MBGNF matrix in a simulated body fluid resulted in the formation of a layer of bone-like apatite minerals on the surface of the MBGNFs.
After 7 days of immersion, the coating surface was nearly covered by a layer of bone-like apatite, showing a significant improvement of its osteoconductive property over the uncoated sample.
As his team dug into the cave floor, the researchers hit a layer of bones.
The treated titanium foils were soaked in modified simulated body fluid (m-SBF) (6.0 mM NaCl, 3.0 mM K2HPO4·3H2O, 3.0 mM MgCl2·6H2O, 50 mM HEPES, 8.0 mM CaCl2, 18 mM NaHCO3) to achieve a layer of bone-like apatite coating.
