What differences between compact and spongy bone can be seen with the naked eye?
compact bone is smooth, dense and thick. Spongy bone has lots of spaces.
What is the function of the periosteum?
anchors tenons and ligaments. Assists with bone growth and helps blood to pass in and out of bone.
route taken by nutrients through a bone, starting on outside and ending with mature bone cells
Periosteum, perforating canals, central canals, canaliculus, lacunae, osteocyte
layers of bony matrix around a central canal
concentric lamallae
location of osteocytes
lacunae in compact bone
longitudinal canal carrying blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves
central canal
minute canals connecting osteocytes of an osteon
canaliculi
inorganic salts deposited in organic ground substance
