Bone (loni^itiiiliuul». masses of protoplasm are the proper bone-cells. Osseoustissue is very vascular, and the capillaries lie in the com-pact substance of the long bones in a series of longitudinalanastomosing channels—the canals of Havers—which arecontinuous with the larger canals containing the nutritivearteries, with the areolar spaces of the spongy extremitiesof the bones, and with the marrow cavities. In transversesections of the compact shafts of tlie long bones, thcreibre,the canals of Havers appear as rounded or oval openings,disposed at tolerably regular intervals, with the lacuna; ar-ranged regularly around them in coaccntrio rows.
