Lamella: Lacunae

Osteon: Lacunae

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of compact bone: Compact bone is dense and forms the outer layer of bones, providing strength and support.

Identify the structural unit of compact bone: The structural unit is known as the osteon, also referred to as the Haversian system.

Explore the composition of an osteon: An osteon is comprised of concentric layers called lamellae, which are rings of calcified matrix.

Differentiate between terms: Lacunae are small spaces within the lamellae that house osteocytes, the bone cells.

Select the correct terms: The structural unit of compact bone is the osteon, and it is comprised of concentric lamellae.
