What is the structure of osteon?
An osteon is composed of concentric rings of bone matrix called lamellae surrounding a central canal called the Haversian canal. Within the Haversian canal run blood vessels and nerves that supply nutrients to bone cells. Osteocytes, the bone cells, are located in spaces called lacunae between the lamellae.
What is Gion's canal part of the body?

Are an osteon contains osteocytes lamellae and a central canal and is found in compact bone only?
No, an osteon is a structural unit found in compact bone that consists of concentric layers of bone tissue called lamellae surrounding a central canal called the Haversian canal. Osteocytes are the bone cells found within the lacunae of the lamellae, and the entire osteon system allows for the transport of nutrients and waste within the bone.
What tissue are cells in solid matrix arranged around central canal?
Bone cells surround Haversian canals. Osteon (Haversian system) is the structural unity of bone. Spaces for osteocytes are called lacunae. The matrix is present in concentric rings called lamellae. Canaliculi are canals that join lacunae with the central Haversian canal (central canal)
