periosteum. It is very vascular and has a rich nerve supply.
t

info: It does not cover articular cartilage of bones.
trabeculae) aka endosteum.
endosteum
Preparation of Bone Section
Decalcification
Calcification
Ground Section:
Types of bone tissue
Based on texture of cross sections
Based on matrix arrangement
Based on maturity
Based on developmental origin
Types of bone tissue
. Flat: These bones have a large surface area. e.g.- scapula (shoulder blade), hip bone.
Their function is to increase the area for attachment of muscles.

d. Irregular: examples include -vertebrae, individual skull bones.
Based on matrix arrangement, bone tissue can be classified as follows
Lamellar bone (secondary bone tissue):
Lamellar bone (secondary bone tissue): Lamellar bone is mature bone with collagen fibers arranged in lamellae. In spongy bone, lamellae are arranged parallel to each other, whereas in compact bone, they are concentrically organized around a vascular canal, termed a Haversian canal.
spongy Bone
they are concentrically organized around a vascular canal, termed a
Haversian canal.
Woven bone is =
(Non-lamellated or primary bone tissue):
mature or immature =
immature bone with collagen fibers arranged in irregular random arrays, containing smaller amounts of mineral substance and a higher proportion of osteocytes than lamellar bone.

is temporary and eventually is converted to lamellar bone.
Immature bone
define =
(primary bone tissue): Immature bone is woven bone.
Mature bone
define =
(secondary bone tissue): Mature bone characteristically is lamellar bone. Almost all bones in adults are lamellar bones.
Woven or immature or coarsely bundled
Proportions of the Collagen / Cells / proteoglycans/ mineral

Proportions of the Collagen / Cells / proteoglycans/ mineral

all newly formed bone in embryo & children
healing fractures
tooth sockets
sutures of cranial bones

Physical characteristics =
less strong
bends rather than “snaps”
less radio-opaque
Mature Bone
Cells with flat lacunae
Collagen arranged in layers
Mineral more than seen in woven

Physical characteristics:
Strong, breaks (snaps) rather than bends
more radio-opaque
Microscopic architecture of mature compact bone

Lamellae of compact bone have three major patterns:
concentrically

circumferential lamellae
(Inner & Outer)

Interstitial lamellae.
Angular fragments of previous concentric & circumferential lamellae can fill the gap between Haversian systems. They are called interstitial lamellae.
Haversian System (Osteon):
Primary structural unit of compact bone =
Angular fragments of previous concentric & circumferential lamellae can fill the gap between Haversian systems. They are called interstitial lamellae.
Only in compact bone

Arranged around a Haversian canal

Thick wall,
narrow canal
Concentric tubular layers = Haversian lamellae

Layers are 3 to 7 μm thick,

Lamellae vary from 4 to 20 in a system

Osteocytes arranged also in concentric layers

Collagen fibers are parallel to each other within each lamella but are oriented perpendicularly to those in the neighboring lamellae.

Canaliculi communicate with Haversian canal, peripheral canaliculi curve back
mature spongy bone =2ct
Spongy mass composed of trabeculae, plates, tubules, globular shells

No Haversian systems (osteons)
Periosteum is not found =
5ct
In area where tendon and ligaments insert on bone

On ends that are covered with articular cartilage

On surfaces of sesamoid bone (locations where a tendon passes over a joint)

On suprascapular area

On neck of the femur
Sharpey’s fibers
At the sites where very firm attachment of tendon or ligament to the bone is necessary, the collagen fibers perforate the bone matrix.
Cement line is what =
Thick layer of mineralized matrix deficient in collagen fibers
Haversian canals connect with each other by transverse or oblique =
Volkmann canals
