•A medium power view
of cortical bone.
•The
black arrow points to a
Haversian canal.
•Careful examination
will reveal concentric
lines around this canal.
•This is the normal
pattern of the deposition
cortical bone.
•The
smaller empty spaces are
"lacunae."
•Lacunae are
normally occupied by
live osteocytes that
communicate through
dendritic processes.
•These dendritic
processes are not
visualized in H&E
stains.
