What is the function of the central canal in an osteon?

• It provides structural support for the osteon.

• It stores excess nutrients for future use.

• It acts as a barrier to prevent the exchange of substances between osteocytes and surrounding tissues.

• It provides a pathway for the exchange of nutrients, waste products, and signals between the osteocytes and the surrounding tissues.

What are the concentric rings of bone tissue called?

• trabeculae

• lamellae

• haversian canals

• osteons

What is the purpose of the perforating canals in bone tissue?

• To allow for the passage of blood vessels and nerves

• To connect the blood and nerve supply of the periosteum to the central canals

• To store minerals and nutrients

• To provide structural support to the bone tissue

What is the function of the lacunae in bone tissue?

• They provide a pathway for blood vessels and nerves to travel through the bone.

• They contain osteocytes, which help maintain the health and function of the bone tissue.

• They store calcium and phosphorus for bone growth.

• They produce red blood cells for the bone marrow.

What is the significance of the canaliculi in bone tissue?

• They store calcium and other minerals.

• They provide structural support to the bone tissue.

• They help in the production of red blood cells.

• They allow for the exchange of nutrients, waste, and signals between osteocytes.
