Skeletal system includes the compact bones. The other type of bone is spongy bones. They perform the specific and desired functions.
The skeletal system includes compact bone. The skeletal system includes the bones, tendons, and ligaments.
Bone tissue can be either spongey or compact. Compact bone is found on the walls of the shaft of bones while Spongey bone is found at the ends of the bone where joints are made.
They are part of the microscopic structure of compact bone. Compact bone is solid, dense, and smooth.The structural unit of compact bone is the Haversian system or Osteon. These are elongated cylinders cemented together to form the long axis of a bone.Components of Haversian system consists of osteocytes (spider-shaped bone cells that lie in "lacunae") that have laid down a matrix of collagen and calcium salts in concentric lamellae (layers) around a central Haversian canal containing blood vessels and nerves.Each system has communicating canals within compact bone with other systems.
An osteon is a long cylindrical tube shaped unit in mature compact bone. It consists of concentric layers of bone lamellae surrounding a central canal also known as the Haversian system. They are oriented parallel to the long axis of the bone and to the main compression stresses. Structurally a group of concentric tubes resembling rings of a tree trunk. Each tube is a lamellae( little plate); a layer of bone matrix which collagen fibers and mineral crystals line up and run in opposite direction. This pattern alternates to withstand torsion, twisting and stresses and inhibits crack propagation.Through the core of the osteon runs the Haversian canal also known as central canal and like all bone cavities it is lined with endosteum. It has its own blood vessels that supply nutrients to the bone cells of the osteon and its own fibers.
The skeletal system is a major repository of calcium.

The osteon is the structural unit of compact bone. Haversian system is a microscopic, structural unit of compact bone also called the osteon. The osteons are arranged in multiple layers or rings called concentric lamella.
compact bone. yah buddy!
Bone tissue is classified into compact bone and spongy bone. The compact bone basic unit is the osteon, or Haversian System. There are no osteons in spongy bone, but it is composed of lamellae, osteocytes, lacunae and canaliculi.
Compact bone looks smooth and homogeneous. Spongy bone is composed of small needlelike pieces of bone and lots of open space.
The basic unit of a compact bone is an osteon. This is also known as the Haversian canal and it contains blood vessels that transport blood to the bone.
Compact bone.
The disadvantage of compact bone is that it is usually very heavy. The bone is not as strong as the spongy bone.
The part of bone you are asking about is called compact bone, or cortical bone.
Compact or cortical bone is hte hard, strong layer of bone.
Actually the compact bone isn't spongy at all, the compact bone is a tough layer making the bone neither too rigid or too brittle. So the compact bone is not spongy. Spongy bone, like its name is spongy.
The type of bone tissue that gives a bone its strength is called cortical or compact bone tissue. This type of bone tissue is dense and forms the outer layer of most bones in the body, providing strength, support, and protection. Cortical bone tissue contains mineralized collagen fibers that are arranged in a parallel fashion, giving the bone its characteristic strength and resistance to bending or breaking.
Haversian system is part of compact bone, which itself is a connective tissue.
