Answer
Haversian canal with Haversian canal
Explanation
Solution
Haversian canals are narrow tubes within compact bone containing blood vessels and nerves. They generally run parallel to the bone surface. Each canal surrounded by a series of rings of bone (lamellae) is known as a Haversian system. Main function of Haversian system is transportation of nutrients and O 2 through blood. Haversian canals are connected by horizontal Volkmann-?s canals. They provide the major route for blood vessels from the marrow cavity to the Haversian canals of osteons.
