A histological schematic of compact bone showing multiple osteons (Haversian systems) with concentric lamellae surrounding a central Haversian canal (HC) containing neurovascular structures. Osteocytes within lacunae are aligned along lamellae, and cement lines (CL) delineate adjacent osteons. Fine microcracks traverse lamellae and propagate along CL boundaries. In anatomical and histological context, the osteon is a structural unit of cortical bone tissue within the skeletal system, enabling load-bearing, nutrient delivery, and remodeling through osteocyte–canalicular signaling.
