A tunnel or canal in bone is known as a "Haversian canal" or "osteon." These cylindrical structures are part of the bone's microarchitecture, allowing for the passage of blood vessels and nerves, which are essential for bone health and maintenance. Haversian canals are surrounded by concentric layers of bone tissue known as lamellae, facilitating the delivery of nutrients and the removal of waste products. Together, these canals form a network that supports bone strength and vitality.
