How Are Osteons in Compact Bone Tissue Aligned? How Does

Multiple Choice

How are osteons in compact bone tissue aligned? How does the osteon arrangement affect bone strength?

A) horizontal to the metaphysis;the epiphyseal plate resists tearing due to the arrangement of osteons.
B) parallel to the epiphysis;the spongy bone follows the alignment of the osteons increasing the strength of the bone ends.
C) parallel to the length of the diaphysis;the shaft resists bending even when stresses are applied in certain directions.
D) randomly between the epiphyseal plates;the random arrangement of osteons makes the shaft strong no matter what direction the bone is stressed.
E) parallel to the perforating canals;the osteons running adjacent to the canals protects the vessels and nerves from becoming damaged.
