MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The osteon consists of a central canal called the osteonic (haversian) canal, which is surrounded by concentric rings (lamellae) of matrix.

Detailed explanation-2: -Every Haversian canal contains a vein, artery, a lymph vessel, some bone cells and nerve, all packed in with connective tissue. Blood vessels and nerves-Haversian canals contain blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Haversian canals are microscopic tubes or tunnels in cortical bone that house nerve fibers and a few capillaries. This allows bone to get oxygen and nutrition without being highly vascular.

Detailed explanation-4: -Running down the center of each osteon is the central canal, or Haversian canal, which contains blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels. These vessels and nerves branch off at right angles through a perforating canal, also known as Volkmann’s canals, to extend to the periosteum and endosteum.
