More model informationThis is the model of an activated osteoclast (half section) with its Howships lacuna, it is eroding osteoid substance. Notice the hemispherical shape of the osteoclast (red), its convex surface dotted with microvilli, the ruffled border (yellow) in the concave surface facing the Howship
s lacuna; several nuclei can be seen in the cross section (blue). Notice also the sealing zone which isolates the Howship`s lacuna. The osteoid substance (pink) and some cartilaginous mineralised substance (skyblue) can be seen below. I hope it will be of help for undergraduate students of veterinary science or medicine.
