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).

The cells in the compact bone are arranged in multiple microscopic columns, whereas the cells in the spongy bone are arranged in a looser, more open network. These cellular differences explain why cortical and spongy bone tissues have such different structures.

Figure 1. Anatomy of a Long Bone. A typical long bone shows the gross anatomical characteristics of bone. The wider section at each end of the bone is called the epiphysis (plural = epiphyses), which is filled with spongy bone. Red marrow fills the spaces in the spongy bone.

Jul 30, 2022 · There are three general classes of bone markings: (1) articulations, (2) projections, and (3) holes. As the name implies, an articulation is where two bone surfaces come together (articulus = “joint”). These surfaces tend to conform to one another, such as one being rounded and the other cupped, to facilitate the function of the articulation.

Bone consists of widely spaced osteocytes (bone cells) and the matrix that lies between them. The matrix is made up of fibres of collagen, which give bone its flexibility, and mineral salts, mainly calcium phosphate, which gives bone its strength. …
Bone Tissue and Cells Under The Microscope
With regards to bone anatomy, some of the parts that can be easily identified include: Endosteum - This is a thin membrane that lines the cavity of the bone marrow. As such, the endosteum lines the inner surface of the bone (such as long bones) thus surrounding the marrow.
6.3 Bone Structure – Introduction to Human Biology
Bone tissue (osseous tissue) differs greatly from other tissues in the body. Bone is hard and many of its functions depend on that characteristic hardness. Later discussions in this chapter will show that bone is also dynamic in that its shape adjusts to accommodate stresses.
