What is the primary structural unit of compact bone?
The Haversian system (or osteon). Cartilage cells multiply and emerge at the epiphyseal side, resulting in bone growth.

False.
Fill in the blank: The central canal of the Haversian system contains __________.
blood vessels and nerves.
What are the concentric rings of bone matrix in the Haversian system called?
Lamellae.
Multiple Choice: What is the function of the canaliculi in the Haversian system? A) Transport nutrients B) Store fat C) Produce red blood cells D) None of the above
A) Transport nutrients.
What type of cells are found in the Haversian system that maintain bone tissue?
Osteocytes.
True or False: Haversian canals run perpendicular to the length of the bone.
False.
What is the significance of the interstitial lamellae in the Haversian system?
They fill the spaces between Haversian systems and represent remnants of older osteons.
Short Answer: How do nutrients and waste products exchange between blood vessels and osteocytes?
Through canaliculi.
Fill in the blank: The Haversian system is named after the anatomist __________.
Clopton Havers.
