Non Healing Wound Definition and Symptoms. A non healing wound is a wound that shows little to no improvement over a prolonged period of time. A non healing wound poses many risks including increase risk of infection and possibly the loss of a limb.
Bone tissue. Bone tissue, or osseous tissue, is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body. Bone tissue forms the rigid part of the bones that make up the skeleton. Bones are organs that are made up of bone tissue as well as bone marrow, small blood vessels, epithelium and nerves. Bone tissue refers specifically to the bone mineral matrix that forms the rigid sections of the organ, and the bone cells within it. The two types of bone tissue are cortical bone and cancellous bone.
Examples arethe vertebrae and sphenoid bone.Gross anatomy of bonesEach bone contains two types of osseous tissue (bone tissue): (1) Compact bone is very denseand solid, and it is always found on the surface of the bone. (2) Spongy bone has a relativelyporous structure, and it is found in the interior of bones.keletal System: Bone Structure and Function For the next two chapters (7 and 9) we will study the skeletal system. Although the majorfeature of this system is the bones, the skeletal system also consists of cartilage, ligaments,tendons, and other structures that hold the bones together and stabilize them.
