Lint: cortical-bone

EG List And
warning

"Cortical bone contains Haversian systems (osteons) which contain a central Haversian canal surrounded by osseous tissue in a concentric lamellar pattern. The Haversian canals contain vessels which supply blood to the cellular elements of the osteon (e.g. osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts)."

Line 3:254 · An e.g. list gives selected examples, so it should not end with 'and' or 'or': 'e.g. osteoblasts, osteocytes, and'.
Acronyms
warning

"The outermost layer of cortex contains few mobile protons. The result is low signal (black) on all pulse sequences, except those with ultrashort-TE 4. The periosteum is normally not visible with MR, but periosteal reactions may be detected sooner than with radiographs."

Line 16:149 · 'TE' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
List Caps

Line 42:11 · In general, we don't start a list item with a capital letter. Exceptions are proper nouns.
