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.
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.

Bone cells found in the lacunae within the matrix are called osteocytes. They are responsible for maintaining the bone structure and communicating with other bone cells to regulate bone remodeling and repair.
No spngy bone does not contain osteons. Compact bone does contain osteons.
When old osteons are removed, concentric rings of lamellae are fragmented which then results in interstitial lamellaebetween the intact osteons.
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.
In a bone, the osteocytes and layers of extracellular matrix, which are concentrically clustered around a central canal, form a cylinder-shaped unit called an osteon, or Haversian system. Many osteons cemented together form the substances of bone.Hope that helped!
Osteocytes and lacunae are found in the mineralized extracellular matrix of bone tissue, not within a specific bone. Osteocytes are the primary cells of mature bone, residing within small cavities called lacunae.
Osteons are found in compact bone tissue, which makes up the outer layer of bones. They are the structural units of compact bone, consisting of concentric layers of bone tissue surrounding a central canal that contains blood vessels and nerves.
No, osteocytes don't mature into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts mature into osteocytes.
