Solution

This is the transverse section image of compact bone:

a. Lamella : Each osteon consist of concentric layers, known as lamella

b. Osteon: Each osteon consists of concentric layers, or lamellae, of compact bone tissue that surround a central canal, the haversian canal.

c. Canaliculi: canaliculi are microscopic canals between the lacunae of ossified bone.

d. Central Canal: The haversian canals surround bloodvessels and nerve cells throughout bones and communicate with bone cells through connections called canaliculi.

e. Lacuna: The Lacunae are situated between the lamellae, and consist of a number of oblong spaces
