Question

What structural feature of compact bone prevents it from bending when forces are applied to either end?

Answer 1

Answer:

Osteons are the structural feature of compact bone.

Explanation:

Osteons are the cylindrical structure that contains a mineral matrix and living osteocytes connected by canaliculi, which transports blood. Each osteon consist of lamellae, which are layer of compact matrix that in the same direction and it helps the bone resist bending or fracturing.

Between the rings of matrix the bone cells osteocystes are located in the space, called lacunae. Each osteon has many little spaces between its rings.

Compact bone is composed of osteons and harversion systems. It is the main structure in the body for support, protection, and movement. It has a strong nature.

Answer 2

Answer;

-Osteons

Explanation;

-Osteon is the fundamental functional unit of much compact bone. Osteons, roughly cylindrical structures that are typically several millimeters long and around 0.2 mm in diameter.

-Each osteon consists of concentric layers, or lamellae, of compact bone tissue that surrounds a central canal, the Haversian canal. Osteons are connected to each other and the periosteum by oblique channels called Volkmann's canals.
