Bone Tissue Structures

Found in epiphyses and interior of bones, consists of delicate interconnecting rods or plates of bone called trabeculae, spaces between trabeculae filled with marrow, nutrients diffuse through canaliculi to osteocytes.

Bone elongation occurs at the epiphyseal plate as chondrocytes proliferate, enlarge, die, and are replaced by bone.

Osteoclasts remove existing bone, while osteoblasts deposit new bone.

<p>Forms diaphysis and thin bone surfaces, has a predictable pattern of repeating units called osteons, each osteon consists of concentric rings of lamellae surrounding a central canal or Haversian canal, osteocytes within lacunae connected by canaliculi, nutrient exchange occurs via canaliculi and central canals.</p> Signup and view all the answers
