MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The outer walls of the diaphysis (cortex, cortical bone) are composed of dense and hard compact bone, a form of osseous tissue. Figure 6.3.

Detailed explanation-2: -Compact bone: also known as cortical bone, this hard-outer layer is strong and dense.

Detailed explanation-3: -compact bone, also called cortical bone, dense bone in which the bony matrix is solidly filled with organic ground substance and inorganic salts, leaving only tiny spaces (lacunae) that contain the osteocytes, or bone cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Compact bone is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue (Figure 6). It can be found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection.

Detailed explanation-5: -Compact bone, also known as cortical bone, is a denser material used to create much of the hard structure of the skeleton.
