The central canal of the spinal cord runs down the center of spinal cord from top to bottom and allows cerebrospinal fluid to circulate. The part of the spinal cord directly around the central canal is the gray commissure. This is what connects the two halves of the spinal cord and allows signals to travel between the two sides.

Which structures are found in the haversian of an osteon?

The haversian canal is a central canal containing blood vessels and nerves. Surrounding the haversian canal are concentric lamellae, which are layers of mineralized bone matrix. Osteocytes, mature bone cells, are located in lacunae within the lamellae and are connected by canaliculi for nutrient exchange.


Describe how an osteoctyle located near a central canal can pass nutrients to osteocytes located far from the central canal?

The osteocyte near the central canal receives nutrients from blood vessels in the central canal. It can then pass these nutrients through gap junctions to neighboring osteocytes, which in turn pass them on to osteocytes located further away from the central canal. This process allows for the distribution of nutrients throughout the bone tissue.
