-Little canals that connect areas of bone cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Canaliculi are tiny canals that connect the lacunae (spaces) where bone cells (osteocytes) are located.

Answer: B
 The central canal (also known as the Haversian canal) is a larger canal in the center of an osteon (the basic functional and structural unit of compact bone), which contains blood vessels and nerves.

Answer: A
 Lacunae are small spaces in bone tissue that contain osteocytes (mature bone cells).

Answer: D
 Trabeculae are small, needle-like bony spicules that make up spongy bone tissue.

Answer: E
 Lamellae are concentric rings of bone tissue that surround the central canal in an osteon.

Answer: F
 Transverse canals (also called Volkmann's canals) are small canals that run perpendicular to the central canal, allowing blood vessels and nerves to connect different osteons together.
