OBSERVATIONS ON THE WATER CONTENT OF BONE



Download PDF

Abstract

1. A method is described by which the relative water contents of adjacent microscopic regions of bone can be assessed.

2. The water content is correlated with the inorganic and organic contents in regions of different age.

3. The results suggest that the age increase in the mineralisation of bone occurs at the expense of both the organic and water fractions.
