Organic component made up of:
Collagen and ground substance (proteoglycans)
Inorganic component made up of:

Osteoclasts
Remove bone matrix
Lamellae
Layers of ECM. Contains collagen fibres

Central canal
Inside Osteons, contains blood vessels and nerves
Lacunae
Lakes for osteocytes
Trabeculae
Columns/tubes of lamella bone in cancellous bone
Cortical bone
Compact bone
Foramina (cancellous)
Gaps between trabeculae containing marrow
Proteoglycans
Long chains of polysaccharides attached to a core protein. Retains water
Periosteum
Covering for bones
Institutional lamellae
