Osteons are a characteristic of compact bone tissue in the skeletal system. They consist of concentric rings of bone matrix called lamellae surrounding a central canal that contains blood vessels and nerves. Osteons provide structural support and help in the transportation of nutrients and waste in bone tissue.
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.
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.

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.

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.
