Compact bone is found in the shafts of long bones and the surfaces of flat bones. Compact bone tissue is arranged in a series of osteons (Haversian systems) that appear as targets. The central osteonic or Haversian canal contains blood vessels and a nerve. Matrix is formed around the canal in concentric layers called lamellae. The osteocytes are found in spaces called lacunae arranged in circles around the central canal. They have boxed themselves in the lacunae by depositing matrix around themselves. Tiny cracks called canaliculi in the matrix allow the osteocytes to reach out to each other and to the central canal for nutrients. Trabecula is a feature of cancellous bone.
