What route is taken by nutrients through a bone starting with periosteum and ending with an osteocyte in a lacuna?
The circulatory system brings blood containing nutrients and oxygen to the periosteum, which covers the bone. The periosteum is a thin membrane that contains nerves and blood vessels. Its main function is to provide nourishment to the bone. From the periosteum, nutrients and oxybgen go through the perforating canals to the central canal, and then to the canaliculi. The osteocyte nearest the central canal passes nutrients to the next osteocyte with arm-like extensions that extend into the canaliculi to the next osteocyte. At the terminal end of each extension, gap junctions connect the cytoplasm of each osteocyte so that nutrients/wastes can be passed between cells to/from the central canal.

The canal that runs through the core of each osteon (Haversian system) contains?
Central (Haversian) Canal is the canal that runs through the core of each osteon.
What are the functions of central canal?
what is the function for central canal
Compact bone has perforating and central canals why isn't a canal system necessary in spongy bones?
For a bone (or anything else) to be spongy, it has to have vast numbers of tiny gaps, holes, or what are in effect tiny canals. One large canal can be replaced by lots of smaller ones.
