Notably, during the normal remodeling process, osteoblasts and their progenitors are located at resorption sites on the bone surface.
Only a third of the fossils had been "microscopically analysed," and the bone surface was intact on only six of five hundred and fifty-nine pieces, she noted.
(b) Resorption is identified as irregular surfaces carved by osteoclasts on the bone surface as they dissolve and remove bone matrix.
To record the stimulus-induced intracerebral electric fields, the skin was retracted after a mediosagittal incision, and the bone surface was cleaned and dried as described before51.
If osteoblasts line the bone surface, matrix is deposited forming a relatively organized tissue, whereas osteoclastic resorptive remodelling forms irregularly spaced and sized lacunae.
If the bone surface does not preserve sufficient detail to ascertain the dominant feature owing to damage or fossilization, such surfaces are left unmapped.
The skull was exposed by a midsagittal incision, and the bone surface was brushed with a solution of saline and peroxide (3%).
Computer models of the bone surface were developed from the CT image data.
The lateral surface of the rabbit mandibular corpus was chosen as the bone surface of interest.
Kinematics measured during a biomechanical experiment were applied to the computer models of the bone surface.
Generally, resorption cavities on the bone surface contain active osteoclasts.
