MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Canaliculi tiny canals that radiate outward from the central canals to each lacunae space. Volkmann’s Canals: canals that run at right angles to the central canals and perforate the shaft of the bone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Compact Bone Small channels (canaliculi) radiate from the lacunae to the osteonic (haversian) canal to provide passageways through the hard matrix. In compact bone, the haversian systems are packed tightly together to form what appears to be a solid mass.

Detailed explanation-3: -Canaliculi-tiny canals that connect all the lacunae.

Detailed explanation-4: -Radiating in all direction from the lacunae are minute canals called canaliculi. They connect the lacunae with each other. Canaliculi are filled with extracellular fluid and contain the slender cytoplasmic processes of the osteocytes.
