You are observing a tissue under the microscope and notice dark concentric circles of matrix and osteocytes in lacunae. You identify this tissue as <u>bone tissue.</u>

<h3>What does bone tissue look like?</h3>
Osteons or haversian systems are tightly packed together to form compact bone.
The osteon is made up of concentric rings (lamellae) of matrix surrounding a central canal known as the osteonic (haversian) canal.
The bone cells (osteocytes), which are situated between the rings of matrix, are found in regions known as lacunae.
<h3>Which 4 tissues are present in bones?</h3>
Osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts, and osteogenic cells are the four types of bone cells that make up bone tissues.
<h3>How does bone tissue develop?</h3>
The recruitment and growth of bone progenitor cells from neighboring tissues is the first step in the development of bone tissue.
Next come differentiation, matrix production, and mineralization.
