How do lamellar and woven bone differ?
Lamellar bone:
| 1. | is more densely calcified. | |
| 2. | has a very regular arrangement of its fibers and crystals. | |
| 3. | has less glycosaminoglycans. | |
| (and therefore typically less basophilic.) | ||
| 4. | has fewer cells. | |
| The cells also are smaller with a regular almond shape. | ||
| 5. | has lamellae. | |
| (which may not be visible if the section runs parallel to them.) | ||
| 6. | can have Haversian systems. |
