Structure of Compact bone: Basic unit of Compact bone is called osteon also known as haversian system. Each osteon consist of four parts.

1. Haversian canal which consists blood vessels and nerves acts as a site of hematopoiesis which is one of the functions of Compact bone.

2.lamellae are concentric rings of strong matrix consisting Calcium and phosphorus. this gives the bone its strength and hardness to bear body weight.

3.Lacunae contains osteocytes.

4.Canaliculi links osteocytes and provide route for nutrients to reach osteocytes.
