Bone: Interstitial lamellae

Bone resorption does not follow the course of existing osteons but assumes a random path. Osteoclasts erode through portions of multiple osteons as they progress, leaving remnants of osteons behind. In this image, if resorption were to stop now and an osteon replace this resorption canal, partial osteons would remain, forming interstitial lamellae. 400x
