Overview of a Haversian system (100x magnification)

Haversian system: (osteon) entire complex, functional unit of bone
Haversian canal: carries blood vessel through center of osteon
lamellae: “little layer” of matrix between concentric rings of osteocytes
lacunae: “pools” which house osteocytes
osteocytes: “bone cells” which maintain bone
Volkmann’s canal: feeder cross connecting vessel for blood supply
canaliculi: protoplasmic extensions from osteocytes by which maintenance of bone is performed
interstitial lamellae: layers between adjacent Haversian systems
