KINESIOL 2Y03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 24: Medullary Cavity, Osteon, Anchor Plate
Document Summary
Lamellar bones - organized in sheets / layers. The spaces are filled with bone marrow and blood vessels. Nutrients go through the canaliculi between the osteocytes. If parallel: found in haversian or central canals. These canals are connected to each other and the outside by perforating. Move outwards from central canal towards the cell. Lamellar bone is organized in three different ways. Form series of circles around vessels found in central canal. Within these circles, very much like the trabecular bone. Form osteons which repeat throughout the compact bone. They contain central canal, concentric lamellae and osteocytes. Run around the outside surface of the bone ating (volkmann) canals. Run around the outside surface of the bone. Few layers thick just under the periosteum layer. When you stack bunch of circles together, there are spaces. We want to filled these spaces between osteon. These spaces are filled with shortened pieces of lamellar bone (interstiti.
