HA10

Bone10o
With H&E, the primary bone matrix stains pink. Where the bony plates meet, there is a suture (HA10, arrow), which holds the two plates together. Notice that the skull bones are composed of inner and outer layers that are separated by trabeculae and marrow cavities. Both sides of the bone are lined by periosteum. Endosteum lines the marrow cavity.
