The basic first level structure of cortical bone are osteons. Trabecular bone is much more porous with porosity ranging anywhere from 50% to 90%. It is found in the end of long bones (see picture above), in vertebrae and in flat bones like the pelvis. Its basic first level structure is the trabeculae. III.
The ossicles (also called auditory ossicles) are three bones in either middle ear that are among the smallest bones in the human body. They serve to transmit sounds from the air to the fluid-filled labyrinth (cochlea).he structure is known as the middle ear, and is made up of the stapes, incus, malleus, and tympanic membrane. These correspond to the columella, quadrate, articular, and angular structures in the amphibian, bird or reptile jaw.
