Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The oldest lamellae of an osteon are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

An osteon is the smallest structure that makes up a compact bone. It is a rod-shaped structure which contains haversian canals. These canals contain blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic vessels, etc.

The major parts of an osteon as seen in the cross section are:

  • Cement layer.
  • Lamellae.
  • Haversian canal.
  • Canaliculi.
  • Lacuna.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions

Remnants of osteons, which have been almost completely recycled by osteoclasts, are known as what? Interstital lamellae perforating canals circumfential lamellae concentric lamellae
Which structure allows a neighboring osteocyte to communicate mechanical stress? canaliculi lacunae central canal osteon
