The histologic term for alveolar bone proper is bundle bone. In histologic sections, the alveolar bone proper appears as a thin lamella of cortical bone lined with bundle bone. Extrinsic collagen fiber bundles of the periodontal ligament known as Sharpey's fibers are embedded into the bundle bone. Their purpose is to connect the bundle bone with the root cementum.
