Anatomy of Peripheral Nerves Peripheral nerves consist of fascicles that contain myelinated and unmyelinated axons. Endoneurium is the small amount of matrix that is present between individual axons. The perineurium is a sheath of special‚ fiber-like cells that ties the axons of each fascicle together. Epineurium is the connective tissue that surrounds the entire nerve trunk and gives off vascular connective tissue septa that traverse the nerve and separate fascicles from one another. | | Single

Osteoporosis is a systemic disease of the skeleton characterized by a low bone density and alterations in bone microarchitecture‚ responsible for the exaggerated bone fragility therefore‚ for a high risk of fracture. Biomechanical studies show that bone mineral density (BMD) is the essential factor for bone fragility. Fractures are signs of complications and seriousness of the disease. Currently‚ the diagnosis of the disease can be done before the first fracture with the BMD and examination of risk
