Texts: Densely packed subunits of compact bone. Small cavities containing osteocytes located between concentric lamellae in which osteocytes reside. Canal found in the center of each osteon; contains blood vessels and nerves. Canals that lie perpendicular to the osteon and carry blood vessels into the periosteum.

Compact bone consists of concentric rings or (lamellae / canaliculi), with bone cells called (chondrocytes / osteocytes), located in tiny spaces called (divots / lacuna / cavaties). Nutrients in blood and nerves travel through osteons by (haversian canal / lamellae / canaliculi) and then capillaries reach each osteocytes by tiny, radiating canals called (haversian canal / lamellae / canaliculi). Spongy bone (does / does not) have osteons. Spongy bones consists of bony bars and plates termed (lattice / trabeculae / osteons).
