title: [Histology of bone tissue and histomorphology--report on standardized terminology].
abstract: The aim of this paper was to present and describe standardized terminology used in histologic and histomorphometric analysis of bone tissue. Bone tissue is characterized by specific activities which are the result of cell function throughout life. Histologic analysis of bone tissue specimen provides an insight in the features and quality of cellular activities. Histomorphometry is direct measurement and calculation of many parameters which permits quantification of characteristics and dynamics of particular bone tissue function. This method may be applied in diagnostics and monitoring of therapy effects in different metabolic bone disorders.
