Resumo

This investigation was undertaken to determine the densities of fresh human compact and cancellous bone, with its marrow constituents intact, and compact and cancellous bone taken from embalmed cadavers. The density of 107 bone specimens was determined on the basis of the weight and volume of each specimen. Mean density results were: (1) fresh compact bone, 1.85; (2) fresh cancellous bone, 1.08; (3) embalmed compact bone, 1.85; and (4) embalmed cancellous bone, 1.09. Embalming did not appear to have altered the density of either compact or cancellous bone. It was observed also that the densities of several bone specimens taken from the same area of one bone varied greatly.
