This is a wedge of a long bone,containing both trebecular and compact bone. In a long bone, such as this one, the more exterior sections of the bone are made of compact bone, whereas trabecular bone occurs deeper, towards the interior of the bone.
In the compact regions, a structural organization known as the Haversian System can be seen. Each Haversian system consists of lamellae, which surround a Haversian canal, through which run nerves and blood vessels.
