Abstract
Sodium was determined by the use of instrumental neutron activation an alysis in sections of compact bone, red marrow and yellow marrow to ch eck possible effects of soft tissues in the bone when determining the Na/Ca ratio in sections of the undecalcified bone tissue. The results indicated that this ratio actually reflects the sodium content in the bone mineral, the contribution from the soft tissues being two orders of magnitude lower.
