  2. Haversian canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversian_canal

    Haversian canals [i] (sometimes canals of Havers, osteonic canals or central canals) are a series of microscopic tubes in the outermost region of bone called cortical bone. They allow blood vessels and nerves to travel through them to supply the osteocytes .

  3. Osteon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteon

    Each osteon consists of concentric layers, or lamellae, of compact bone tissue that surround a central canal, the Haversian canal. The Haversian canal contains the bone's blood supplies. The boundary of an osteon is the cement line. Each Haversian canal is surrounded by varying number (5-20) of concentrically arranged lamellae of bone matrix.

    In 1947, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) devised the first nationwide telephone numbering plan and assigned the original North American area codes. The state of California was divided into three numbering plan areas (NPAs) with distinct area codes: 213, 415, and 916, for the southern, central, and northern parts of the state ...

    In bovine tibia diameter of canaliculi was found to vary from 155 to 844 nm (average 426 nm). [2] In mice humeri it varies from 80 to 710 nm (average 259 nm), while diameter of osteocytic processes varies from 50 to 410 nm (average 104 nm).

    Havers' thesis. Clopton Havers (24 February 1657 – April 1702) was an English physician who did pioneering research on the microstructure of bone. He is believed to have been the first person to observe and almost certainly the first to describe what are now called Haversian canals and Sharpey's fibres.

    The UC team said California could meet about 15% its electricity demand with solar panels on all 4,000 or so miles of canal statewide. That’s a quarter of the way to the mandate for 60% climate ...

  9. Volkmann's canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkmann's_canal

    Volkmann's canals, also known as perforating holes or channels, are anatomic arrangements in cortical bones that allow blood vessels to enter the bones from periosteum. They interconnect the Haversian canals (running inside osteons ) with each other and the periosteum.
