bone

Not long after I was finally diagnosed, my doctor ordered a bone density scan.

Later studies showed that only gaining weight and the return of natural menstruation help improve bone density.

My doctor put me on oral contraceptives to induce a period, figuring it would help build bone.

This leaves people with a history of anorexia and reduced bone density like me at high risk for fractures.

An x-ray two hours later confirms my hunch: my tibia (the big bone behind the shin) is snapped clean in two.

I saw this girl, eight or nine years old, all benumbed and nothing but skin and bone.

Large mononuclear leukocytes probably originate in the bone-marrow or spleen.

That we will, and you never need want, Mark, for I've many a fine bone buried away against old age and rainy weather.

Myelocytes are the bone-marrow cells from which the corresponding granular leukocytes are developed.

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes are formed in the bone-marrow from neutrophilic myelocytes.
