Left: Schematic of a forming osteon showing the conical shape of the cutting cone. Osteoclasts dissolve the bone matrix, creating the cutting cone and the subsequent osteon properties. Osteoblasts follow and infill the cone. Right: Schematics of transverse sections at time-related remodeling locations. (a) Cutting cone apex, (b) Early forming osteon, (c) Forming osteon, (d) Completed osteon.
