Osteoclasts
- Found in bone tissue
- Function: Break down bone tissue for bone remodeling and calcium release
Haversian Canals
- Found within compact bone tissue
- Connect together via Volkmann's canals
- Contain blood vessels and nerves
- Surrounded by concentric rings of lamellae (bone tissue)
- Form the Haversian system, a key structure in compact bone
Irregular Bone Trabeculae
- Found specifically in spongy bone tissue, a type of bone tissue
- Responsible for supporting the structure of spongy bone and provide space for bone marrow
