The concentric rings of compact bone, known as lamellae, are layers of bone tissue organized around a central canal, which contains blood vessels and nerves. These rings form cylindrical structures called osteons or Haversian systems, providing strength and structural support. The arrangement of lamellae allows for efficient nutrient delivery and waste removal, essential for bone health and maintenance. This intricate structure contributes to the overall durability and resilience of compact bone.
What else can I help you with?
What are the matrix rings of compact bone that surrounds the central canal of each osteon?
Concentric lamellae
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.
What are the matrix rings of compact bone that surround the central canal of each osteon?
The matrix rings are called lamellae and they concentrically surround the central canal (Haversian canal) of each osteon. They form a series of concentric circles, providing structural support and strength to the bone tissue.
What type of bone is arranged in concentric layers?
Compact bone tissue is arranged in concentric layers called lamellae around a central canal that contains blood vessels and nerves. These layers give compact bone its strength and resilience, helping to support the body and protect vital organs.
What are osteons a characteristic of?
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.
A narrow hollow channel containing blood vessels that is found in the center of concentric rings of compact bone?
Haversian canal =) your welcome but do your own work next time.
What type of bone has lacunae in concentric circles around central canals and is found on the wall of the middle prtion of the long bone?
The type of bone you are referring to is compact bone. It contains osteocytes housed in lacunae arranged in concentric circles called lamellae around central canals (Haversian canals). Compact bone is found on the outer wall of the middle portion of long bones.
What the rings of a bony material is called?
The rings of bony material are called "lamellae." These concentric layers of bone tissue are found in structures like osteons, which are part of compact bone. Lamellae provide strength and support to the bone while facilitating the organization of collagen fibers and mineral deposits within the bone matrix.
Cells that form concentric rings around blood vessels?
Bone
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.
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.
What are the circular structures in compact bone called?
The circular structures in compact bone are called osteons or Haversian systems. Each osteon consists of concentric rings of bone matrix, surrounding a central canal that contains blood vessels and nerves. These structures help in the transport of nutrients and waste and provide strength to the bone.
