The matrix for bone is laid down in thin layers called lamellae. The lamellae are arranged in concentric patterns around tubes called osteonic canals. Between the layers of lamellae the osteocytes are placed in depressions called lacunae. This pattern of concentric circles forms a cylinder-shaped unit called the osteon.

Cells are defined as?
Bone cells that resorb bone tissue.
Which type of tissue forms bones tendons and ligaments?
Bone is made of compact bone tissue and spongy bone tissue and also nerve cells from the spinal column.
Osteoclast cells are defined as?
Bone cells that resorb bone tissue.
Are bone cells tissue or organs?
GROUP OF CELLS FORM TISSUE ..SO BONE TISSUE IS FORMED OF FIVE TYPES OF BONE CELLS. Bone tissue contains five basic types of bone cells. There are cells which are responsible for the response of the body to trauma and fracture, and those which secrete the basic chemical compound which bones are made of. There are cells mature bone cells and cells that break down the bone tissue. All bone cells have a particular function and each is needed for bones to retain their strength, develop, heal, and grow.
Bone is what kind of tissue?
Bone cells are called osteocytes, and the matrix of the bone is made of calcium salts and collagen. Bone tissue is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body.
Which statement supports the fact that bone cells are smaller than bone tissue?
Each kind of cell has a unique characteristics such as shape, size, flexibility, color, and texture. Bone cells combine with other bone cells make bone tissue and so on.
How are cells in heart tissue different from cells in bone tissue?
The bone tissue gets you to stop bleeding if you got heart the heart tissue keeps your heart from getting hurt
What tissue has cells arranged in concentric rings?
Osseous tissue contains cells arranged concentrically around a nutrient canal.
What tissue found in bones makes blood cells?
Marrow it the soft tissue inside some of the bones
Are bone cells tissue?
Yes it's connective tissue
What cells build bone tissue?
In bone, there are osteoblasts (cells which build bone) and osteoclasts (cells which break down bone). In the bone marrow and spongy bone, there are hematopoietic cells (cells which make blood). Bone is a type of connective tissue that is made of specialized cells that all work together for a common function. Their cellular and extracellular matrix is what makes bone cells so unique.
Where in the body can the bone cell be found?
Bone cells, which are found within the bone tissue, are responsible for the make-up of the skeleton of vertebrates. There are different types of bone tissue in a bone that are made up of different bone cells: there is the compact tissue which is the hard outer part of the bone, the cancellous tissue which is all the spongy tissue inside of the compact tissue, and the subchondral tissue which is the smooth tissue at the end of each bone. Bone cells all work together inside of the bones to help keep up the skeletal system. The bone cells do many things for the skeletal system such as the development of new bones, the maintenance of bones, and the regulation of minerals in the body.
