Skeletal and Articular Systems

Coloring Image

Histological section of spongy bone stained with H&E, showing trabeculae of bone surrounded by marrow cavities. Osteocytes are visible within lacunae inside the trabeculae, while osteoclasts are located along the bone surface for resorption. Endosteal cells line the marrow cavity. The marrow contains hematopoietic cells and large megakaryocytes involved in platelet formation. The image illustrates the structural relationship between trabecular bone and bone marrow components.
