What canal is the horizontal canal in the osteon?
The perforating (Volkmann) canals, that run horizontally in compact bone and connect to the central canal.
Does the perforating canal supply blood to skin?
No, the perforating canal does not supply blood to the skin. It is a passageway for blood vessels and nerves to enter the bone from the periosteum. Blood supply to the skin is mainly through dermal arteries and capillaries located in the dermis layer of the skin.
What is the Horizontal canal in an osteon?
The horizontal canal in an osteon is a small channel that connects adjacent osteocytes within the bone. It allows for the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the osteocytes and the blood vessels that supply the bone. This network of canals helps to maintain the health and function of bone tissue.
The periosteum a connective tissue covering on the diaphysis is represented by?
perforating (Sharpey's) fibers
What are the functions of central canal?
what is the function for central canal
What route is taken by nutrients through a bone starting with periosteum and ending with an osteocyte in a lacuna?
The circulatory system brings blood containing nutrients and oxygen to the periosteum, which covers the bone. The periosteum is a thin membrane that contains nerves and blood vessels. Its main function is to provide nourishment to the bone. From the periosteum, nutrients and oxybgen go through the perforating canals to the central canal, and then to the canaliculi. The osteocyte nearest the central canal passes nutrients to the next osteocyte with arm-like extensions that extend into the canaliculi to the next osteocyte. At the terminal end of each extension, gap junctions connect the cytoplasm of each osteocyte so that nutrients/wastes can be passed between cells to/from the central canal.
The canal that runs through the core of each osteon (Haversian system) contains?
Blood vessels and nerves that supply nutrients to the bone cells within the osteon (Haversian system).
What is the function of the transverse canal on a starfish?
They connect the radial canal to the ampullae in the water vascular system.
What are central canal connected by in compact bones?
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.
What is the function central canal?
The main function for central canal is to carry all the blood vessels and nerves in the body. It is found in every bone that is in the human body.
What is the function of the vaginal canal?

What is the Function of circular canal?
They are the sensory organs for balance.
