haversian canal

haversian canals

Haversian canals are narrow channels formed by the lamellae of compact bone, the region in which osteons are arranged parallel to the long axis of the bone. Each canal surrounds blood vessels and nerve cells running through the bone, and communicates with osteocytes lying in lacunae, the spaces within the dense bone matrix that hold the living bone cells, by way of fine canaliculi. This arrangement links every cell in the mineralised matrix to a vascular channel, and it is described as conducive to the deposition and storage of mineral salts, from which bone tissue derives its strength. The canals are classified within the skeletal system as bone foramina.

Haversian canals are a series of tubes around narrow channels formed by lamellae. This is the region of bone called compact bone. Osteons are arranged in parallel to the long axis of the bone. The Haversian canals surround blood vessels and nerve cells throughout the bone and communicate with osteocytes in lacunae (spaces within the dense bone matrix that contain the living bone cells) through canaliculi. This unique arrangement is conducive to mineral salt deposits and storage which gives bone tissue its strength.
