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.

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.


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.


What are cells that break down bone tissue called?

Cells that break down bone tissue are called osteoclasts. They are specialized cells responsible for resorption of bone tissue during bone remodeling and repair processes.


What tissue has cells arranged in concentric rings?

The tissue that has cells arranged in concentric rings is bone tissue, specifically compact bone. This arrangement helps bone tissue withstand mechanical stress and provides strength and support to the body.


How are cells in heart tissue different from cells in bone tissue?

The cells in heart tissue, such as cardiomyocytes, are specialized for pumping blood and maintaining the heart's rhythmic contractions. In contrast, cells in bone tissue, such as osteoblasts and osteoclasts, are involved in bone formation, remodeling, and mineralization. Heart tissue cells are primarily involved in contraction and conduction, while bone tissue cells are responsible for maintaining the structural integrity and strength of bones.


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.


Are bone cells tissue?

Yes it's connective tissue


Tissue type associated with red bone marrow?

Hematopoietic tissue is the tissue type associated with red bone marrow, responsible for producing blood cells such as erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and platelets.


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.


What are the cells of bone tissue called?

Osteocytes
