Bone is a mechanically active, three-dimensionally (3D) complex, and dynamic tissue that changes in structure over the human lifespan. exists remodels 3D time, introducing fourth dimension. The products of remodelling process, secondary fragmentary osteons, have been studied substantially using traditional two-dimensional (2D) techniques. As result, much has learned regarding biological information encrypted histomorphology bone, yielding wealth relating to skeletal function....
