Bone
A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the skeleton in most vertebrate animals. Involucrum and bone are bones.
Cetacea
Cetacea is an infraorder of aquatic mammals belonging to the order Artiodactyla that includes whales, dolphins and porpoises.
Osteomyelitis
Osteomyelitis (OM) is an infection of bone.
See Involucrum and Osteomyelitis
Pus
Pus is an exudate, typically white-yellow, yellow, or yellow-brown, formed at the site of inflammation during infections, regardless of cause.
Radiography
Radiography is an imaging technique using X-rays, gamma rays, or similar ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation to view the internal form of an object.
See Involucrum and Radiography
Sequestrum
A sequestrum (plural: sequestra) is a piece of dead bone that has become separated during the process of necrosis from normal or sound bone.
X-ray
X-rays (or rarely, X-radiation) are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
