Endosteum
The small image above shows a slice of the target pattern 2. It is made of circular layers
or rings called _____ (7).

Concentric lamellae
(circular layers)
Bone cells or _____(9)live in holes known as ______ that are
found between the rings of bone tissue.

Osteocytes;
Lacunae

cells are found in small crack-like passageways(8)called _______.

Canaliculi
The right image is a real photo of bone showing
the target pattern 2 again. Odd fragments or
pieces of the target patterns, _______(10)are
formed as bone is torn down and rebuilt in the
process known as ______.

Interstitial lamellae;
Remodeling
(Interstitial= between; They
