MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Compact bone possesses many parallel, longitudinal column like structures called Haversian systems, in which several concentric layers of bony matrix called lamellae encricle a longitudinal central canal called Haversian canal. It is the Haversian canal, which carries blood vessels and nerves to the. bone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Haversian Canal are longitudinal canals that are arranged parallel to the long axis of the bone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Haversian canals (sometimes canals of Havers) are a series of microscopic tubes in the outermost region of bone called cortical bone. They allow blood vessels and nerves to travel through them to supply the osteocytes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The osteonic canals contain blood vessels that are parallel to the long axis of the bone. These blood vessels interconnect, by way of perforating canals, with vessels on the surface of the bone.

Detailed explanation-5: -A central Haversian canal penetrates the osteon and serves as a passage for blood cells, lymph vessels, and nerves.
