  2. Bone canaliculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_canaliculus

    Bone canaliculi are microscopic canals between the lacunae of ossified bone.The radiating processes of the osteocytes (called filopodia) project into these canals. These cytoplasmic processes are joined together by gap junctions.

  3. Irregular bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregular_bone

    The irregular bones are bones which, from their peculiar form, cannot be grouped as long, short, flat or sesamoid bones.Irregular bones serve various purposes in the body, such as protection of nervous tissue (such as the vertebrae protect the spinal cord), affording multiple anchor points for skeletal muscle attachment (as with the sacrum), and maintaining pharynx and trachea support, and ...

  4. Bone resorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_resorption

    Bone resorption is resorption of bone tissue, that is, the process by which osteoclasts break down the tissue in bones [1] and release the minerals, resulting in a transfer of calcium from bone tissue to the blood.

  5. Sesamoid bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sesamoid_bone

    In anatomy, a sesamoid bone (/ ˈ s ɛ s əm ɔɪ d /) [1] [2] is a bone embedded within a tendon or a muscle. [3] Its name is derived from the Greek word for 'sesame seed', indicating the small size of most sesamoids.

  6. Vertebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebra

    Each vertebra (pl.: vertebrae) is an irregular bone with a complex structure composed of bone and some hyaline cartilage, that make up the vertebral column or spine, of vertebrates.

  7. Intramembranous ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramembranous_ossification

    Mesenchymal stem cells within mesenchyme or the medullary cavity of a bone fracture initiate the process of intramembranous ossification. A mesenchymal stem cell, or MSC, is an unspecialized cell that can develop into an osteoblast.

  8. Synchondrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchondrosis

    A synchondrosis (or primary cartilaginous joint) is a type of cartilaginous joint where hyaline cartilage completely joins together two bones. [1] Synchondroses are different from symphyses (secondary cartilaginous joints), which are formed of fibrocartilage, and from synostosis (ossified junctions), which is the fusion of two or more bones.

  9. Keras - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keras

    Keras is an open-source library that provides a Python interface for artificial neural networks. Keras was first independent software, then integrated into the TensorFlow library, and later supporting more. "Keras 3 is a full rewrite of Keras [and can be used] as a low-level cross-framework language to develop custom components such as layers ...
