Bone is a dynamic organ composed of live tissue and inert substance. Thus, an understanding of bone disease has as its foundation the concept of bone as a highly vascular connective tissue in which different nutritional circulatory fields control the deposit and removal of solids in a balanced field. The article offers an explanation of the vascular components of disease and the correlation of anatomically defined nutritional circulatory fields in order to facilitate the necessary breadth and precision of diagnosis.
