| It is compounded of two words, osteon, meaning bone, pathos, pathine, to suffer. |
| Each osteon has a fluid occupied excavating or lumen along the center of its long axis. |
| The structural unit, osteon, has a multilayered cylinder of collagen fibers. |
| In the present study, we investigate the case of a new osteon during its mineralization phase. |
| The highly mineralized cortical plate is made of osteon units containing a central Haversian canal with nerves and capillaries. |
| Tetracycline, a modern-day antibiotic, is a fluorophor that binds with calcium during the mineralization phase of osteon production. |
