Osteon matching
Endosteum
CT membrane covering internal bone surfaces
Osteocytes
Mature osteoblasts that reside in lacunae
Trabeculae
Tiny bone spicules lined with endosteum that make up spongy bone
Periosteum
dense irregular CT that surrounds a bone; houses bone forming cells, bone destroying cells, and numerous blood vessels
osteon
densely packed subunits of compact bone
Central canal
found in the center of each osteon; contains blood vessels and nerves
perforating canal
lie perpendicular to the osteon and carry blood vessels into the bone from the periosteum
Concentric lamellae
rings of bone matrix
Lacunae
small cavities containing osteocytes located between concentric lamellae in which osteocytes reside
Canilculi
tiny canals that join neighboring lacunae and their osteocytes
