HAVERSIAN SYSTEMS AND FLAT LAMELLAE OF THE DIAPHYSIS – 5
Top figure
A small region of a diaphysis shows cross-sections of four Haversian systems, highlighted in pink. In each system observe the central Haversian canal (highlighted in dark blue after using the mouse or clicking over the image).
Some bone lacunae are indicated by arrows.
Intermediate lamellae (highlighted in light green) occupy the spaces between Haversian systems.
