Question 2

What are the structures in the Compact Bone?

Answer 2

Osteon / Haversian system
Central Canal
Concentric Lamella
Osteocytes
Canaliculi
Interstitial Lamella

Question 3

Osteon / Haversian system

Answer 3

functional/structural unit; runs parallel with the diaphysis

Question 4

Central Canal

Answer 4

• a space within the osteon
  passageway for blood vessels and nerves that supply the bone at the center of the osteon

Question 5

Concentric Lamella

Answer 5

• circles within circles

rings of osseous tissues around the central canal; each CL has collagen running in opp. direction to help increase the strenght of the bone

Question 6

Osteocytes

Answer 6

bone cell trapped in lacunae w/ cytoplasmic extensions that travel through

Question 7

Canaliculi

Answer 7

small channel within lacunae or central canal that allows the osteocytes to communicate w/ each other so nutrients, wastes, gases can travel within/through the central canal and osteocytes

Question 8

Interstitial Lamella

Answer 8

parts of older osteons that have been resorbed

-triangle shaped in between the concentric lamella
