Detailed explanation-1: -Compact Bone The osteon consists of a central canal called the osteonic (haversian) canal, which is surrounded by concentric rings (lamellae) of matrix. Between the rings of matrix, the bone cells (osteocytes) are located in spaces called lacunae.
Detailed explanation-2: -Haversian canals typically run parallel to the surface and along the long axis of the bone and generally contain one or two capillaries and nerve fibers. Volkmann’s canals are channels that assist with blood and nerve supply from the periosteum to the Haversian canal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Volkmann’s canals, also known as perforating holes or channels, are anatomic arrangements in cortical bones. Volkmann’s canals are inside osteons. They interconnect the haversian canals with each other and the periosteum.
