Bone is composed of compact and cancellous tissue. Compact tissue is dense like ivory while cancellous tissue is elastic and porous. Microscopically, bone is made up of lamellar and woven structures. Lamellar bone is strong with slow turnover found along lines of stress. Woven bone is immature and non stress-oriented found in embryonic skeletons. The periosteum encloses bone, supplying blood vessels in two layers. Bone marrow is yellow and fatty in adults but red and cellular in children. Bone is vascularized by nutrient arteries that branch throughout and emerge as veins in three locations.
