NON-LAMELLAR BONE AND LAMELLAR BONE – 1
The figure show the different arrangement of the cells in the lamellar and non-lamelar bone.
Top figure – non-lamellar bone
The osteocytes (highlighted in blue) are irregularly distributed in the extracellular matrix.
Observe osteoblasts on the surface of the bone tissue, highlighted in yellow.
Bottom figure – lamellar bone
The osteocytes (highlighted in dark blue) are arranged in layers between bone lamellae (highlighted in light blue).
Osteoblasts on the bone surface are highlighted in yellow.
