Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The bones of the body have been divided into the four categories depending on their shape: the long bones, the short bones, the flat bones, and the irregular bones. The structure of a mature compact bone is layered or lamellar. The bones are arranged in the concentric layers around the vascular canals and the Haversian canals of the bones. These canals help in supplying the blood to the osteocytes.
