Compact bone is found wrapped around the cancellous bone to protect it and is made up of osteons. These osteons are cells composed of delicate layers of lammelae which protect the nerves and blood of the inner core compact bone. On death osteons transform into lammelae and produces barrier between osteon cells located inside the compact bone matrix. Due to this the strength and density of compact bones builds up.
Skeletal muscles are composed of striated subunits called sarcomeres, which are composed of the myofilaments actin and myosin. Illustrate the structure of a skeletal muscle fiber. 1  Muscles are composed of long bundles of myocytes or muscle fibers.  Myocytes contain thousands of myofibrils.
