===Bone organisation===

*Normal progression is from woven bone to lamellar bone, even in pathology, except for [[Bones - hyperplastic and neoplastic#Craniomandibular osteopathy|canine craniomandibular osteopathy]] and [[Bones - metabolic#Hypervitaminosis D|hypervitaminosis D]], where lamellar bone is replaced by woven bone
  −
*Patterns of collagen deposition:
  −
**'''Woven bone''':
  −
***"Random weave" which is only a normal feature in the foetus
  −
***Coarse collagen fibres
  −
***Later removed by osteoclasts and replaced by lamellar bone
  −
***In adults it is a sign of a pathological condition (e.g. fracture, inflammation, neoplasia)
  −
**'''Lamellar bone''':
  −
***Orderly layers which are much stronger than woven bone
  −
***Fine collagen fibres in concentric or parallel laminae
  −
***Two main types:
  −
****'''Compact bone (cortical)'''
  −
*****Forms 80% of total bone mass
  −
*****Consists of cells and interstitial substance - 30% ossein (type of collagen) and 70% minerals, especially calcium phosphate
  −
*****Forms the shell of long bone shafts - contain [[Haversian systems]]
  −
****'''Cancellous bone (spongy or trabecular)'''
  −
*****Made up of plates, tubes or bars arranged in lines of stress
  −
*****In vertebrae, flat bones and epiphyses of long bones
  −
*****Contains no Haversian systems
  −
**'''Laminar bone'''
  −
***Formed on periosteal surface of diaphysis
  −
***Accomodates rapid growth of large dogs and farm animals
  −
***Plates of woven bone from within the periosteum
  −
***Concentric plates
  −
***As it forms, it fuses with the bone surface
