Bone: the tissue

This trabecula of bone is being eroded by multiple osteoclasts, very large cells with multiple nuclei. Osteoclasts resorb bone in the reverse order from which it was deposited: the inorganic matrix is resorbed first, followed by the organic matrix. The resorption results in shallow depressions in the bone called Howship’s lacunae. Two blood vessels are also present. Spongy woven bone, 400x
