the opening of pre caval/superior venacave/ in right auricle is guarded by haversian valve. . .dont get confused by haversian system found in bone
Components of Haversian system: osteocytes (spider-shaped bone cells that lie in "lacunae") that have laid down a matrix of collagen and calcium salts in concentric lamellae (layers) around a central Haversian canal containing blood vessels and nerves.The Haversian canal contains small blood vessels responsible for the blood supply to osteocytes (individual bone cells).
Compact bone consists of a repeating structure called a Haversian system, or osteon, which is the primary anatomical and functional unit. Each osteon has concentric layers which are deposited around a central canal, also known as the Haversian canal, each containing a blood and nerve supply.
Theosteon, or Haversian system, is the fundamental functional unit of much compact bone. Osteons, roughly cylindrical structures that are typically several millimeters long and around 0.2mm in diameter,[1] are present in many of the bones of most mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

The Haversian System is the way bone is laid out. The Haversian Canal is in the center of each system. Blood vessels, arteries and nerves run through this hole (Haversian canal). The canal is surrounded by rings made of calcium much like the grains found in wood. These rings are called Lamellae. These are generally only 3 to 5 rings around due to the large decrease in diffusion that would take place otherwise. Located all about these rings are Osteocytes. These are cells that from the bone matrix (The non-living structure). They secrete calcium and other minerals. To protect these sells from being crush by there own byproduct, they are encased in a hard "shell" called a Lacunae. Finally, Canaliculi runs through the entire matrix. Canaliculi are the capillaries that connect the osteocytes to the Haversian canal. Those are the 5 basic components to the typical Haversian System.
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)

In a bone, the osteocytes and layers of extracellular matrix, which are concentrically clustered around a central canal, form a cylinder-shaped unit called an osteon, or Haversian system. Many osteons cemented together form the substances of bone.Hope that helped!
yes
haversian system
Under the microscope dense, compact bone shows a definite and a characteristic pattern of arrangement. The ground substance of bone is arranged in concentrated layers (lamellae) round the small canals which run parallel to the long axis (shaft) of the bone. These canals, called Haversian canals, are interconnected with one another via Volkmann's canals and contain a blood vessel, a nerve and a lymph vessel. Each Haversian canal is surrounded by concentric layers of bone matrix (called lamallae) and concentric rings of bone forming cells (osteoblasts). Bone cells remain alive and once they have completely surrounded by the hard bone matrix, they are called osteocytes. The osteocytes are embedded in fluid-filled cavities within the concentric lamellae. These cavities are known as lacunae and occur at regular intervals in these concentric layers of bone tissue. The lacunae are connected to one another and to the Haversian canals by a system of interconnecting canals known as canaliculi. Each Haversian canal, its concentric lamellae, lacunae with osteocytes and canaliculi forms a long cylinder and is called a Haversian system. Separate Haversian systems are joined to each other by means of interstitial lamellae.

haversian system is to consist to allow for the efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the bone cells
The osteon is the structural unit of compact bone. Haversian system is a microscopic, structural unit of compact bone also called the osteon. The osteons are arranged in multiple layers or rings called concentric lamella.
Haversian system is part of compact bone, which itself is a connective tissue.
