The haversian canals are used to transport oxygen to the bone cells. It also contains the nerves for the bones.
Haversian canals branch into the compact bone, they caring blood vesels which nourish the osteocytes.
In compact (dense) bone, the nerves and blood vessels run through conduits known as the Haversian Canals. These are connected to the bone cells by canaliculi channels.
No, the canals are present in the compact bone (surrounds the spongy bone) and are called Haversian canals.
The Haversian canals
The Haversian canals carry blood vessels and nerves to and from the bone.
Haversian canals are characteristic of compact bone tissue. They are interconnected channels within the bone that contain blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels, allowing for the exchange of nutrients and waste products within the bone.

Haversian Canals
They are part of the microscopic structure of compact bone. Compact bone is solid, dense, and smooth.The structural unit of compact bone is the Haversian system or Osteon. These are elongated cylinders cemented together to form the long axis of a bone.Components of Haversian system consists of 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.Each system has communicating canals within compact bone with other systems.
Haversian canals .. Any of the tiny, interconnecting, longitudinal channels in bone tissue through which blood vessels, nerve fibers, and lymphatics pass.
Haversian canals contain blood vessels and nerves that supply nutrients to the osteocytes (bone cells) within the compact bone tissue. They also facilitate communication between different parts of the bone and help with the removal of waste products.
