How do Circumferential Lamellae Differ from Other Lamellae?
In bone histology, there are several types of lamellae: - Osteons or Haversian Systems: These consist of concentric lamellae surrounding a central Haversian canal. - Interstitial Lamellae: These are remnants of old osteons that have been partially resorbed and are found between current osteons. - Circumferential Lamellae: Unlike the concentric and interstitial lamellae, circumferential lamellae form continuous layers around the entire bone structure, either just under the periosteum or lining the medullary cavity.
