Laboratory Activities and Assignment

Part 1: Review of the Introduction to Skeleton Anatomy

1. Identify and label the bone structures listed using the anatomical model of bone shown below:

periosteum
endosteum
osteon

central canal
osteocyte in lacuna
canaliculus

Volkmann's canal
circumferential lamellae
concentric lamellae

trabecula
bone marrow

Anatomical model of bone tissue

2. Label the structures of compact bone shown in this microscopic images below in the table. Each image is labeled with the number. Place the corresponding anatomical name in the table below next to the number of the image highlighting that structure.

interstitial lamella
canaliculi
osteocytes

concentric lamella
osteons (multiple)
lacuna

central canal
osteon (1)

Microscopic images of compact bone with different structures highlighted.

Part 2: Skeletal Histology

Obtain the slides listed below that are available for today’s lab.
Focus on each sample and identify the structures listed for each type of tissue.
Indicate the total magnification you make each illustration at in the space provided.
Illustrate each tissue you observe with the microscope at the magnification you listed.
Label each illustration with the structures listed for each.

Compact Bone

Label the tissue with: osteon, concentric lamella, osteocyte in lacuna, central canal, canaliculi
