Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The haversian system, also known as the osteon, is the basic structural or organizational unit of bone, consisting of concentric layers or lamellae of bone matrix surrounding a central canal called the haversian canal, which contains blood vessels and nerves. The canaliculi are tiny channels that connect the lacunae, which are small spaces or cavities where bone cells called osteocytes reside. While important for the function of bone cells, they are not the basic unit of bone structure.
