Bone
7 tests available
Bones are rigid, living structures that make up the skeleton and provide support, movement, and protection for the body's organs. They are also key sites for mineral storage and blood cell production.
Pathological tests of bone are used to diagnose infections, tumors, bone density loss, fractures, and metabolic bone diseases.
Functions of Bone
- Provides structural support to the body
- Protects vital organs (e.g., skull protects brain, ribs protect heart and lungs)
- Enables movement by serving as attachment points for muscles
- Stores minerals like calcium and phosphorus
- Produces blood cells in the bone marrow
Common Bone Pathological Conditions
- Osteoporosis – Decreased bone density, increasing fracture risk
- Osteomyelitis – Infection of the bone
- Bone tumors – Benign or malignant growths in bone tissue
- Fractures – Breaks in the bone due to trauma or disease
- Paget’s disease – Abnormal bone remodeling leading to deformities
