Transcribed Image Text:Describe the structure of compact bone.
= cells and matrix are arranged in an orderly pattern in compact bone (Figure 6-3).
pact bone forms, layers of matrix (lamellae) are laid down around a central blood ves
tube that surrounds the blood vessel is the central canal, and the circular layers of mat
alled concentric lamellae. Each central canal and the concentric lamellae that surrou
sually about five layers) make up a structure called an osteon, which may also be referr
the Haversian system.

When you look at a cross-section of compact bone, you will see many osteons packed closely
ogether. Although each osteon appears to have a circular shape, be aware that in three
limensions each osteon has the shape of a cylinder. Notice that when circles (or cylinders) are
