Compact bone tissue is made of cylindrical osteons that are aligned such that they travel the length of the bone. Haversian canals contain blood vessels only. Haversian canals contain blood vessels and nerve fibers. Spongy tissue is found on the inferior of the bone, and compact bone tissue is found on the exterior.arrow_forwardA race between two runners is often used as an analogy to describe the mechanism of endochondral ossification. Review endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, who are the two runners? Did each runner begin the race at the same time? Who is in the lead? How does the race end? I have some ideas but cannot decide. I was first thinking condrocytes and osteoblasts with osteoblasts finishing first with the compact bone, but then I was thinking of blasts and clasts as one builds and one removes. Also, I thought, well maybe, cartilage and osteoblasts.arrow_forward
