The arrangement of lamellae around central (Haversian) canals forms osteons (Haversian systems).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Osteons (also known as Haversian systems) are cylindrical structures that form the basic unit of compact bone. They consist of concentric layers of bone tissue called lamellae, which surround a central (Haversian) canal. The arrangement of the lamellae around the canal is what gives the osteon its characteristic appearance.
