Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to introduce the contemporary collections housed in the Anthropology Laboratory of the University of Granada. The two collections (San José and Lucena) comprise N = 740 individuals of both sexes. All of them come from contemporary cemeteries and their dates of death are comprised between 1871 and 2005. The demographic profile indicates that the predominant age group is between 50 and 99 years of age (n = 405), although it is important to emphasize the large number of sub-adults in the collections (n = 234). The exceptional state of preservation and completeness exhibited by the remains constitutes a valuable resource for the validation and elaboration of methods for the determination of age and sex, as well as for the study of pathologies and pathological conditions documented at the bone level, for which clinical reports are available in certain cases.

Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in adults, it...

Components of the Skeletal System
Bone, or osseous tissue, is a hard connective tissue that forms an internal support structure for the human body. Bones shield vulnerable organs and soft tissue from external forces. For example, the vertebral bones protect and support the spinal cord.
