Osteons, also called Haversian systems, are only found in compact bone. They are cylindrical structural units that run parallel to the long axis of the bone and consist of concentric layers of bone tissue called lamellae. Trabeculae are found in spongy bone, canaliculi are found in both compact and spongy bone, osteoblasts are found in both types of bone, and marrow is found in the medullary cavity of bones.
