Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lamellae are layers or rings of calcification found in compact bone, formed by concentric circles of osteocytes and their matrix.

Answer: A and E
 Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are both involved in the process of bone remodeling, which maintains bone density and structure. Osteoblasts build new bone, while osteoclasts break down old bone. Neither of them are directly involved in the formation of lamellae in compact bone.

Answer: C
 Canaliculi are tiny channels that connect the lacunae, where osteocytes are located, allowing for communication and nutrient exchange between cells. While they are an important part of the structure of compact bone, they do not form the lamellae themselves.

Answer: D
 The medullary cavity is a hollow space within the diaphysis of long bones that contains bone marrow. It is not involved in the formation of lamellae in compact bone.
