Abstract
Modified electron-microscopic techniques permit the sectioning of fully mineralized compact bone. Cortical canals in human femur are extensively innervated. Most nerves are unmyelinated and range from 0.5 to 10 micrometers in diameter. I have found a few mixed nerves (myelinated and unmyelinated fibers), one of which was 130 micrometers in diameter.Keywords
