What else can I help you with?
Is osteon a cervical vertebra?
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?
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.
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 small channels in bone tissue that connect the Haversian canals and allow for the passage of blood vessels and nerves. They help in distributing nutrients and oxygen to the bone cells and removing waste products, aiding in bone health and repair.
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?

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.
How are perforating canals and central canals related?
Perforating canals connect osteons (structural units of compact bone) to each other and to the periosteum, allowing for blood vessels and nerves to pass through. Central canals run through the center of osteons and contain blood vessels and nerves that supply the bone tissue. Thus, both perforating canals and central canals play key roles in providing blood supply and innervation to bone tissue.
