6.3C: Microscopic Anatomy of Bone - Medicine LibreTexts
The basic microscopic unit of bone is an osteon (or Haversian system). Osteons are roughly cylindrical structures that can measure several millimeters long and around 0.2 mm in diameter. Each osteon consists of a lamellae of compact bone tissue that surround a central canal (Haversian canal).
6.3 Bone Structure - Anatomy and Physiology 2e - OpenStax
Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone’s overall function. Compact bone is dense so that it can withstand compressive forces, while spongy (cancellous) bone has open spaces and supports shifts in weight distribution. Compact Bone

2024年9月25日 · Figure \(\PageIndex{8}\): Microscopic Anatomy of Compact Bone. Three light micrographs of compact bone. In a ground bone preparation organic components are not preserved, so bone cells and organic matrix are not present. What remains is the inorganic matrix of calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite) with the canals and cellular spaces highlighted.

Bone Tissue and Cells Under The Microscope
Bone Tissue and Cells Under The Microscope Introduction. Bone tissue is one of the main components of the skeletal system (other components include bone marrow/marrow cavity, collagen fibers etc). Like other tissues in the body, bones are made up of specialized cells that serve different functions.
