Figure 10

Depicted are diagrams based on seven osteons from the equine radii (at top) and seven osteons from the human ribs (at bottom). They range from the smallest to largest osteon diameter (On.Dm). The intervening osteons are also depictions of actual osteons spaced at approximately equal intervals of diameters from this range. The osteons are drawn to scale with contours that are smoothed to make them circular; the distribution of osteocytes are shown to be quasi random for illustrative purposes. The chart in the center lists actual data for each osteon (1, 2, 3, … 7). Ot.Lc.N/B.Ar = no./mm2 and other non-ratio values are in μm.
