A) Osseous tissue gets its "hardness" and ability to withstand compressive forces from the crystallized inorganic mineral salts located in the matrix.
B) Spongy bone does not have osteons, nor does it have lamellae, lacunae, or an osteocyte population.
C) Collagen fibers provide the ability to withstand tensile forces and are found in the osseous matrix, giving bone its flexibility.
D) The periosteum is a tough sheet of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds the bone's surface wherever it is not covered with articular cartilage.
E) Compact bone is characterized by osteons, structures that consist of a central canal, concentric lamellae, lacunae, osteocytes and canaliculi.
