How are osteons in compact bone tissue aligned? How does the osteon arrangement affect bone strength?
A) horizontal to the metaphysis;the epiphyseal plate resists tearing due to the arrangement of osteons.
B) parallel to the epiphysis;the spongy bone follows the alignment of the osteons increasing the strength of the bone ends.
C) parallel to the length of the diaphysis;the shaft resists bending even when stresses are applied in certain directions.
D) randomly between the epiphyseal plates;the random arrangement of osteons makes the shaft strong no matter what direction the bone is stressed.
E) parallel to the perforating canals;the osteons running adjacent to the canals protects the vessels and nerves from becoming damaged.
