Osteogenic cells are rounded cells with rounded nuclei that are rich in alkaline phosphatase and present in the endosteum. They cannot divide and have an acidophilic cytoplasm. Osteogenic cells are found in the endosteum. Osteoclasts are large, multinucleated cells that are found in Howship's lacunae and have foamy acidophilic cytoplasm containing lysosomes. They are derived from monocytes. Haversian systems in compact bone are interconnected by interstitial lamellae and contain concentric lamellae, central Haversian canals, and osteocytes in lacunae.
