Presentation Transcript

  1. Low-power scanning electron microscope image of normal bone architecture in the 3rd lumbar vertebra of a 30 year old woman marrow and other cells removed to reveal thick, interconnected plates of bone

  2. Low-power scanning electron microscope image of osteoporotic bone architecture in the 3rd lumbar vertebra of a 71 year old woman marrow and other cells removed to reveal eroded, fragile rods of bone

  3. Trabcular bone element eroded by osteoclasts

  4. Trabcular bone element perforated by osteoclast action

  5. Scanning electron micrograph of a rat osteoclast and resorption pit on a bone surface
