Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central canal, also known as the Haversian canal, is a channel that runs through the center of each osteon (functional unit of compact bone) and contains blood vessels and nerves.

Answer: A 
 Lacunae are small cavities within the bone matrix that contain osteocytes (mature bone cells) and are connected by canaliculi.

Answer: C 
 Canaliculi are small channels that connect the lacunae and allow for exchange of nutrients and waste between osteocytes and blood vessels.

Answer: D 
 Trabeculae are bony struts that make up the spongy bone and create a lattice-like structure filled with bone marrow.

Answer: E 
 Lamellae are concentric rings of bone matrix that surround the central canal in an osteon. They are made up of collagen fibers and minerals, such as calcium and phosphate.

Answer: F 
 "Tr" is not a recognized choice and does not correspond to any bone structure.
