The Interconnecting Tiny Arches of Bone Tissue Found in Spongy

Question

The interconnecting tiny arches of bone tissue found in spongy bone are called
A) osteons.
B) trabeculae.
C) concentric lamellae.
D) interstitial lamellae.
E) lacunae.

Accepted Answer

The interconnecting tiny arches of bone tissue found in spongy bone are called trabeculae. Osteons are found in compact bone and consist of concentric lamellae surrounding a central (Haversian) canal. Interstitial lamellae are fragments of old osteons that have been partially destroyed during remodeling. Lacunae are small cavities in bone tissue that contain osteocytes.
