Lengthwise-running central canals are connected to each other by transverse-running:
A) haversian canals.
B) Volkmann canals.
C) canaliculi.
D) lacunae.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transverse-running canals that connect lengthwise-running central canals are called Volkmann canals. Haversian canals run lengthwise through the bone and are surround by concentric layers of bone tissue called lamellae. Canaliculi are tiny channels that radiate from lacunae, which are small spaces within the bone tissue that contain osteocytes (bone cells).
