WHAT DOES DECALCIFICATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Bone decalcification

Bone decalcification is the removal of calcium ions from the bone through histological process thereby making the bone flexible and easy for pathological investigation. This is necessary in order to obtain soft sections of the bone using the microtome. Every thin section cut can be processed like any other soft tissue of the body. Calcium ions found in the bones are responsible for its rigid posture, people suffering from diseases like osteomalacia and rickets have an unusually low amounts of calcium ions in their bones thereby rendering their bones flexible and most times unable to carry their body weight. There are two categories of decalcifying agents namely, chelating agents and acids. The acids are further divided into weak and strong acids. The acids make up a solution of calcium ions while the chelating agents take up the calcium ions. Most frequently used chelating agent is Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Acids have some effects on the stainability of the tissue. Decalcification is a lengthy procedure, as bone pieces have to be left in the decalcifying agent for several days or even weeks, depending on the size of the bone.
