Compact And Spongy Bone Flashcards
Osteon is a
Functional unit of compact bone
The central canal contains
Blood vessels
Perforating canals are perpendicular to
The surface of bone
Perforating canals carry
Blood vessels into deep bone and marrow
Lamellae are layers of
Bone matrix
Concentric lamellae surround d
Central canal
Interstitial lamellae fill
spaces between osteons
Circumferential lamellae are at
The outer and inner bone surfaces
Spongy bone lacks
Osteons
The matrix of spongy bone forms an open network of
Trabeculae
Spongy bone matrix lacks
Capillaries and venues
Red bone marrow fills spaces between
Trabeculae
Red bone marrow forms
Blood cells
Red bone marrow contains
Blood vessels that supply nutrients to osteocytes by diffusion
Yellow bone marrow is found
In sites of spongy bone
