Trace the route taken by nutrients through a bone, starting with the periosteum and ending with an osteocyte in a lacuna. Periosteum 9. Several descriptions of bone structure are given below. Identify the structure involved by choosing the appropriate term from the key and placing its letter in the blank. Then, on the photomicrograph of bone on the right (208X), identify all structures named in the key and bracket an osteon. Key: a. canaliculi b. central canal c. concentric lamellae 1. layers of bony matrix around a central canal 2. site of osteocytes 3. longitudinal canal carrying blood vessels. lymphatics, and nerves 4. minute canals connecting osteocytes of an osteon 5. inorganic salts deposited in organic ground substance osteocyte e. d. lacunae matrix
