Volkmann's canals are nerves that run across the surface of the bone.
Canaliculi. Their function is to allow nutrients and waste to pass between osteocytes within the bone matrix.
The Haversian canals carry blood vessels and nerves to and from the bone.
Perforating canals are channels in the compact bone that contain blood vessels and nerves. They connect the nutrient and longitudinal canals, allowing for the transportation of nutrients and waste products throughout the bone. Perforating canals are also known as Volkmann's canals.
osteonic canals
No, the ear canals are not directly connected to the sinuses.

The function of semi circular canal in the ear is balance and orientation
Carinal canals are located in the trachea (windpipe) where the trachea bifurcates into the left and right bronchi. Their function is to provide oxygenated blood supply to the structures in the trachea and bronchi.
In compact bone, central canals are connected by tiny channels called perforating canals (or Volkmann's canals). These canals allow blood vessels and nerves to travel between the central canals, facilitating communication and nutrient exchange throughout the bone. This network is essential for maintaining the health and function of the bone tissue.
Canaliculi. Their function is to allow nutrients and waste to pass between osteocytes within the bone matrix.

Very small, sometimes microscopic canals are called as canaliculus. They are usually present in bones.
The purpose of the semicircular canals in your inner ears are for equillibrium. They have fluid in them that moves when you do and that stimulates hairs inside them that are connected to nerves.
Cheaper to build AND were not limited to "sea level". (Yes, both trains and canals can climb hills - but it's easier and cheaper for the train.)
The Haversian canals carry blood vessels and nerves to and from the bone.
Osteonic canals, also known as Haversian canals, are central channels within osteons (the structural units of compact bone) that contain blood vessels and nerves, facilitating nutrient and waste exchange in bone tissue. Communicating canals, or Volkmann's canals, are transverse channels that connect adjacent osteonic canals, allowing for the lateral flow of blood and communication between osteons. Together, these canal systems ensure efficient vascularization and innervation of bone, supporting overall bone health and function.
Blood vessels in these canals supply blood to osteons deeper in the bone and to tissues of the medullary cavity.
