➡️Osteons are made up of concentric lamellae of bone matrix with a central canal called haversian canal

➡️Within the bone matrix there are spaces called lacunae, which are occupied by osteocytes

➡️Between the Osteons we can observe the remnants of previous concentric lamellae called Interstitial lamellae

➡️Each osteons are transversly connected by volkmann's canal
