No, an osteon is the unit of compact bone containing what is known as Haversian canals (series of tubes surrounding and containing the blood vessels and nerve cells that satisfy compact bone)
What are perforating canals?
Canals in the bone in which blood vessels pass. Blood vessels from outside the bone penetrate the compact bone to the spongy bone through the PERFORATING CANALS.
What is the function of haversian canals?
The Haversian canals carry blood vessels and nerves to and from the bone.
What is the function of Volkmann's canals?
Volkmann's canals are nerves that run across the surface of the bone.
What makes compact bone hard?
Osteonic canals contain blood vessels that connect to the long axis of the bone. The blood vessels that are connected perforate the canals of the bone and provide vessels to the surface of the bone which makes the bone hard.
Blood is distributed from the surface of a bone to deeper central canals through channels known as?
Other passageways, known as perforating canals or Volkmann's canals, extend perpendicular to the surface. Blood vessels in these canals supple blood to osteons deeper in the bone and to tissues of the medullary cavity.
What is the smallest blood vessels containing oxygenated blood?
There is oxygenated blood in the efferent capillaries.
What are canals that extend obliquely inward or horizontally from the bone surface and contain blood vessels and lymphatic vessels called?
Foramen
Small channels in compact bone that contain blood vessels are called?
Haversian canals
What is the eye tissue containing blood vessels called?
The sclera.
Where do blood vessels and nerves enter and leave the bone?
All bones have foramen in them. These are canals or openings through which nerves and blood vessels go.
What is the function of the volkmann's canal?
Blood vessels in these canals supply blood to osteons deeper in the bone and to tissues of the medullary cavity.
