Lamellae

Closely apposed sheets of bone tissue in compact bone.

Papillary Layer

Layer of loose connective tissue of dermis or lamina propria.

Arrest Lines

Smooth, stained microscopic lines caused by apposition in cartilage, bone, cementum.

Skeletal Muscles

Striated muscles under the voluntary control of central and peripheral nervous systems.

Nerve

Bundle of neural processes outside central nervous system.

Neuron

Functional cellular component of nervous system.
