Structure #5 is the 

• medullary cavity

• periosteum

• epiphysis

• diaphysis

Structure #7 is a/n 

• canaliculi

• perforating (Volkmann's canals

• central (Haversian) canals

• osteocytes

Structure #3 is a/n

• osteon

• perforating (Volkmann's) canals

• Central (Haversian) canals

• canaliculi

The epiphysis is 

• The shaft of a bone

• a bone cell

• the end of a long bone

• the covering of a bone

What is the purpose of the central canal?

• Connect Lacunae and osteocytes together

• provide strength and resilience to bone

• Space for blood vessels and nerves

• To manage the bone

The broad ends of a long bone are the

• epiphyses

• diaphyses

• fibrous ends

• medullary cavities

What is the purpose of the lacunae?

• Connect Lacunae and osteocytes together

• Safe space for osteocytes to reside

• provide strength and resilience to bone

• To manage the bone

Structure #4 is a/n

• osteon

• osteocyte

• lacuna

• osteoblast

Structures #5, which are situated within structures #8, are 

• osteons

• lamellae

• lacunae

• osteocytes
