Osteons, also known as Haversian systems, are found only in compact bone. They are composed of concentric rings of bone tissue, called lamellae, surrounding a central canal that contains blood vessels and nerves. Trabeculae and canaliculi are found in both compact and spongy bone. Osteoblasts are found in both types of bone and are responsible for building and remodeling bone tissue. Marrow, which can be either red or yellow depending on location, is found in both types of bone as well.
