Trabeculae are the small, rod-like structures that form the spongy bone, providing structural support while also allowing for lighter bone mass and space for bone marrow. Osteons, or Haversian systems, are the fundamental structural units of compact bone, consisting of concentric layers of mineralized matrix surrounding a central canal that contains blood vessels and nerves. While trabeculae are found in cancellous bone, osteons are characteristic of dense bone, highlighting the differences in their structure and function within the skeletal system.
What else can I help you with?
What is the structural unit of spongy bone?
Trabeculae
The tiny plates of bone material found in spongy bone are called A interstitial lamellae. B osteons. C concentric lamellae. D lacunae. E trabeculae.?
E. Trabeculae Well, Trabeculae translates to tiny beam or rod whereas trabeculae means tiny plates... and if it is for spongy bone, then that would be A. interstitial lamellae
Beam-like processes of the inner face of the myocardium?
The trabeculae
What is the name of the muscular ridges in the ventricles?
Trabeculae Carneae.
Does spongy bones contain osteons?
No spngy bone does not contain osteons. Compact bone does contain osteons.
What are remodeled osteons?
When old osteons are removed, concentric rings of lamellae are fragmented which then results in interstitial lamellaebetween the intact osteons.
What are the interconnecting rods of cancellous bone called?
Trabeculae
Which one is found in a compact bone but not in a spongy bone?
Haversian systems (osteons) are found in compact bone but not in spongy bone. These structures consist of concentric layers of bone tissue surrounding a central Haversian canal containing blood vessels and nerves.
What is The type of lamellae found between 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.
Does lacunae bone contain osteons?
no
Where is trabeculae found?
spongy bone
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.
