compact
What supports the cortical plate in the human mouth?
The cortical plate in the human mouth is a flat structure or layer of a thin dental bone. It is supported by the alveolar bone.
What kind of tissue is inside the bone?
The part of bone you are asking about is called compact bone, or cortical bone.
Does Cortical bone has a faster turnover rate than trabecular bone?
No. Tubercular bone has a higher turnover rate than cortical bone. Therefore the bones most likely to be affected in osteoporosis are those with high trabecular bone content eg femoral, vertebrae, wrist.
Is a type of bone tissue that is rigid and dense?
Compact and cortical bone tissues are rigid and dense.
What bone is rigid and dense?
Cortical Bone
Which unit of measurement is the most appropriate to measure the thickness of the cortical bone?
millimeters
Which type of tissue contains the haversian systems?
No it doesn't. Haversian systems are only found in compact/cortical bone.
What is location of the bone?
Compact bone is the outer region of all the bones in your body.There are two basic parts of each of your bones:There is an outer hard layer of bone called either compact bone or cortical bone. this layer is much more dense.There is an inner layer of bone called either cancellous bone or trabecular bone. This is a softer bone and contains bone marrow and much more blood vessels than the cortical (compact) bone.
The outer covering of a bone is called?
The skin of the bone is called the periosteum
