Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compact bone is organized into structural units called osteons or Haversian systems, which are arranged in concentric circles around central canals (Haversian canals). The canaliculi are small channels that connect lacunae (small cavities containing osteocytes) to each other and to the central canal, facilitating the transport of nutrients and waste products.
