Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Canaliculi are small channels within bone that allow for communication between cells, specifically between osteocytes (bone cells) that are located in lacunae (small cavities) within the bone matrix. Lamellae refer to the concentric layers of bone tissue, while perforating and Haversian canals are larger channels that allow for blood vessels and nerves to pass through the bone.
