8.13 Compact bone

Version française

Compact bone of the diaphysis of a long bone of an adult dog.

This field shows the outer circumferential lamellae and the adjacent osteons with their respective central canals cut transversely or obliquely.

The framed area, shown at a higher magnification in Figure 8.14, illustrates an area of bone resorption.

Above is an osteon in reconstruction with osteoblasts at its periphery depositing the lightly stained pre-bone that will calcify to yield a concentric bone lamella.

Stain: H–E
Magnification: ×300
