The type of tissue you are describing is osseous tissue, commonly known as bone tissue. It is characterized by a matrix that includes calcium salts and collagen fibers, which provide strength and rigidity. The structural components, such as lamellae (concentric layers) and lacunae (small cavities that house osteocytes), are essential for bone's support and maintenance functions. This specialized connective tissue plays a crucial role in the skeletal system.
What else can I help you with?
What connective tissue has solid matrix and lamella surronding central canals?
The connective tissue you are referring to is bone tissue. It has a solid matrix composed of minerals, primarily calcium phosphate, which gives it its hardness. The lamellae (concentric rings) surrounding central canals are characteristic of compact bone, which is the more dense and strong type of bone tissue.
What is a description of the microscope stucture of compact bone?
Compact bone is dense and does not contain many spaces (unlike spongy bone). It has a concentric-ring structure. Compact bone consists of osteons which contains blood vessels and Volkmann's canals (which also hold blood vessels and nerves but run perpendicular to the osteons).
How many canals are there in Canada?
Canada has a network of over 1,600 canals. Many of these canals are part of the historic Rideau Canal system which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
What is the cavity in which an osteocyte occurs?
The small spaces in compact bone tissue that are holes that osteocytes live in are called lacunae (singular: lacuna). The canal that runs through the core of each osteon is the site of blood vessels and nerve fibers; these canals are called canaliculi. The lacuna can sometimes be seen as an empty space with the cell nucleus inside and sometimes the cell nucleus takes up the entire lacuna.
List how many semicircular canals are there in the inner ear?
There are three semicircular canals in the inner ear: the anterior, posterior, and horizontal canals. These canals are part of the vestibular system, which helps with balance and spatial orientation.
Tiny canals connecting lacunae?
The tiny canals that connect the lacunae are the canaliculi, the larger canals are the Haversian canals.
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.
How are bone cells orangized in bone tissue?
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.
What are the layers of calcified matrix called?
The layers of calcified matrix in bone tissue are called lamellae. These lamellae are arranged in concentric circles around central canals called Haversian canals, forming the structure known as an osteon or Haversian system.
Describe the microscopic structure of compact bone?
Under the microscope dense, compact bone shows a definite and a characteristic pattern of arrangement. The ground substance of bone is arranged in concentrated layers (lamellae) round the small canals which run parallel to the long axis (shaft) of the bone. These canals, called Haversian canals, are interconnected with one another via Volkmann's canals and contain a blood vessel, a nerve and a lymph vessel. Each Haversian canal is surrounded by concentric layers of bone matrix (called lamallae) and concentric rings of bone forming cells (osteoblasts). Bone cells remain alive and once they have completely surrounded by the hard bone matrix, they are called osteocytes. The osteocytes are embedded in fluid-filled cavities within the concentric lamellae. These cavities are known as lacunae and occur at regular intervals in these concentric layers of bone tissue. The lacunae are connected to one another and to the Haversian canals by a system of interconnecting canals known as canaliculi. Each Haversian canal, its concentric lamellae, lacunae with osteocytes and canaliculi forms a long cylinder and is called a Haversian system. Separate Haversian systems are joined to each other by means of interstitial lamellae.
What connective tissue has solid matrix and lamella surronding central canals?
The connective tissue you are referring to is bone tissue. It has a solid matrix composed of minerals, primarily calcium phosphate, which gives it its hardness. The lamellae (concentric rings) surrounding central canals are characteristic of compact bone, which is the more dense and strong type of bone tissue.
What is the purpose of canaliculi?
Canaliculi are small, microscopic canals between the various lacunae of ossified bone. The radiating processes of the osteocytes project into these canals
What is the canal that connects lacunae to osteocytes?
The canal that connects lacunae to osteocytes is called a canaliculus. Canaliculi are small channels that allow for communication and nutrient exchange between osteocytes located within lacunae in compact bone tissue.
Minute canals that connect lacunae are called?
Canaliculi. Their function is to allow nutrients and waste to pass between osteocytes within the bone matrix.
Does the arrangement of lamellae around central (Haversian) canals form osteons?
Yes, the arrangement of lamellae around central (Haversian) canals forms the structural units known as osteons in compact bone. Each osteon consists of concentric layers of lamellae surrounding a central canal that contains blood vessels and nerves. This organization allows for the efficient distribution of nutrients and waste removal, contributing to the overall strength and functionality of the bone.
What do haversian canals contain?
They are part of the microscopic structure of compact bone. Compact bone is solid, dense, and smooth.The structural unit of compact bone is the Haversian system or Osteon. These are elongated cylinders cemented together to form the long axis of a bone.Components of Haversian system consists of osteocytes (spider-shaped bone cells that lie in "lacunae") that have laid down a matrix of collagen and calcium salts in concentric lamellae (layers) around a central Haversian canal containing blood vessels and nerves.Each system has communicating canals within compact bone with other systems.
What tissue are cells in solid matrix arranged around central canal?
Bone cells surround Haversian canals. Osteon (Haversian system) is the structural unity of bone. Spaces for osteocytes are called lacunae. The matrix is present in concentric rings called lamellae. Canaliculi are canals that join lacunae with the central Haversian canal (central canal)
