Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Canaliculi are tiny channels that connect adjacent lacunae in compact bone, allowing for the exchange of nutrients and gases between the osteocytes. Osteonic canals (also known as Haversian canals) contain blood vessels and nerve fibers, while perforating canals (also known as Volkman's canals) provide channels for blood vessels to enter and exit the bone. Lamellae are concentric rings of matrix surrounding the osteonic canals.
