Are an osteon contains osteocytes lamellae and a central canal and is found in compact bone only?
true
What is the Horizontal canal in an osteon?
The perforating (Volkmann) canals, that run horizontally in compact bone and connect to the central canal.
What is the functional unit of bone?
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.
Where would you look for concentric lamellae?
it is the tubular layer of bone surrounding the central canal of osteon
What is difference between an osteon and osteocyte?
An osteon is the functional unit of cortical bone. Osteons contain osteocytes, which are cells that produce bone matrix.
What are the matrix rings of compact bone that surrounds the central canal of each osteon?
Concentric lamellae
What connective tissue has solid matrix and lamella surronding central canals?
Bone tissue

What is osteon?
Osteon the functional unit of compact bone. An osteon is made up of the Haversian canal, osteocyte, and canliculi. Each osteon is made up of concentric layers.

Is osteon a structural unit of a compact bone?
Yes
Is osteon a cervical vertebra?
No, an osteon is the unit of compact bone containing what is known as Haversian canals (series of tubes surrounding and containing the blood vessels and nerve cells that satisfy compact bone)
What are the circular unites called that make up a compact bone?
Osteon
An osteon or Haversian system is composed of?
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.
