What are remodeled osteons?

When old osteons are removed, concentric rings of lamellae are fragmented which then results in interstitial lamellaebetween the intact osteons.


What is The type of lamellae found between osteons?

The type of lamellae found between osteons is interstitial lamellae. These lamellae are remnants of old osteons that have been partially destroyed during bone remodeling.

Are compact bone homogeneous?

No, compact bone is not homogeneous. It is made up of osteons, which are cylindrical structures containing concentric layers of bone tissue called lamellae. This arrangement gives compact bone its characteristic strength and resilience.

In relationship to the diaphysis of a long bone the osteons are?

Osteons are cylindrical structures found in the diaphysis (shaft) of long bones. They consist of concentric rings of bone tissue called lamellae, surrounding a central canal that houses blood vessels and nerves. Osteons are responsible for providing strength and support to the bone structure.


Are osteons found in osteocytes?

Osteons, also known as Haversian systems, are structural units of compact bone and consist of concentric layers of bone matrix surrounding a central canal. Osteocytes, on the other hand, are mature bone cells that reside within small cavities called lacunae and are embedded within the bone matrix. While osteocytes are found within osteons, they do not constitute osteons themselves. Instead, they play a crucial role in maintaining the bone tissue and communicating with other bone cells.
