The rings of the matrix that surround the central canal of each osteon are called concentric lamellae. Canaliculi are small channels that connect the lacunae of osteocytes, perforating canals are channels that allow blood vessels and nerves to enter and exit the bone, circumferential lamellae are rings of bone tissue that run parallel to the surface of the bone, and interstitial lamellae are irregularly shaped pieces of bone tissue that fill gaps between osteons.
