Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Haversian canals are not created by osteoclasts, instead, they are formed by concentric rings of bone matrix (lamellae) that surround a central canal (Haversian canal). Osteocytes are also found within the lacunae of the Haversian system, which helps them to remain alive. Haversian canals can also contain blood vessels and nerve fibers and run parallel to the length of long bones.
