Bone marrow is trabecular bone tissue
What is arrow A pointing to?
Osteoblast in trabecular bone tissue
What is arrow B pointing to?
Osteocyte in lacuna of trabecular bone tissue
What is arrow C pointing to?
Osteoclast of the trabecular bone tissue
What is arrow D pointing to?
Bone marrow of trabecular bone tissue
What is cortical bone tissue?
(Compact or dense bone)
What is arrow A pointing to and what are its characteristic features?
Osteon
Microscopic structural unit of cortical bone tissue
What is arrow B pointing to?
Lamella of osteon
What is arrow C pointing to and what are its characteristic features?
Lacuna
Spaces that house the osteocyte cell bodies in bone tissue
What is arrow D pointing to and what are its characteristic features?
Artery in central canal
Central canal: passageway through the centre of each osteon carrying blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels
What is arrow E pointing to and what are its characteristic features?
Endosteum cortical bone tissue
Dense irregular connective tissue membrane located internal to endosteum cortical bone tissue
What is arrow F pointing to and what are its characteristic features?
Artery in perforating canal
Perforating canal:passageway that connects adjacent central canals by passing through osteons; allows blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels to travel deeper within the dense cortical bone structure
What is arrow G pointing to and what are the characteristics?
Osteocyte in lacuna
What is arrow A pointing to and what are the characteristic features?
Osteon: microscopic structural unit of cortical bone tissue, cylindrical structure consisting of concentric right of calcified matrix
What is arrow B pointing to and what are the characteristic features?
Periosteum
Dense irregular connective tissue membrane located external to periosteum cortical bone tissue
What is arrow A pointing to?
Osteocyte in lacuna
Lacunae: spaces that house the osteocyte cell bodies in bone tissue
What is arrow D pointing to and what are the characteristic features?
Dense irregular connective tissue membrane located internal to endosteum cortical bone tissue
What is arrow E pointing to and what are the characteristic features?
Central canal: passageway through the centre of each osteon carrying blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels
What is arrow F pointing to and what are the characteristic features?
Lacuna
Spaces that house the osteocyte cell bodies in bone tissue
What is arrow G pointing to and what are the characteristic features?
