Answer:
The medullary cavities are found deep in the diaphyses of long medullary cavities bones and are filled with yellow marrow in the adult.
Osteocytes maintain contact with neighboring osteocytes in adjacent lamellae via dendrite-like extensions through canaliculi.
Filled with osteocytes, which are osteoblasts encased in matrix, lacunae are found between layers of concentric lamellae.
Located in the middle of osteons, the central canal contain the blood vessels, and nervous supply of the compact bones
Explanation:
- The medullary cavities are central cavities in the bones. In adults, these cavities are filled with yellow marrow (adipose tissue).
- The canaliculi are small protoplasmic projections between the lacunae of ossified bones.
- The astrocytes are the most common type of bone cell.
- The lacunae are spaces where osteocytes are located in the mature bones
- The central canal provides nourishment to the osteocytes which collectively form the osteon.
