Kompaktiluukudos
Kompaktiluukudos, also known as dense bone or cortical bone, is the harder, outer layer of bone tissue. It forms the shaft of long bones and the outer covering of other bones. This tissue is characterized by its high density and strength, providing structural support and protection for the body.
Structurally, kompaktiluukudos is organized into cylindrical units called osteons. Each osteon consists of concentric layers of
The composition of kompaktiluukudos includes an organic matrix, primarily collagen fibers, which provides tensile strength, and
Functionally, kompaktiluukudos plays a crucial role in locomotion by providing attachment points for muscles and acting
