  2. Haversian canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversian_canal

    Each Haversian canal generally contains one or two capillaries and many nerve fibres. The channels are formed by concentric layers called lamellae , which are approximately 50 μm in diameter . The Haversian canals surround blood vessels and nerve cells throughout bones and communicate with osteocytes (contained in spaces within the dense bone ...

  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.

  4. Central canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_canal

    The central canal (also known as spinal foramen or ependymal canal) is the cerebrospinal fluid-filled space that runs through the spinal cord. [1] The central canal lies below and is connected to the ventricular system of the brain, from which it receives cerebrospinal fluid, and shares the same ependymal lining. The central canal helps to ...

  5. Cranial nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerves

    These foramina and canals may contain more than one cranial nerve and may also contain blood vessels. [13] The terminal nerve (0) is a thin network of fibers associated with the dura and lamina terminalis running rostral to the olfactory nerve, with projections through the cribriform plate.

  6. Vestibulospinal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibulospinal_tract

    The head is tilted to one side which stimulates both the canals and the otoliths. This movement stimulates the vestibular nerve as well as the vestibular nucleus . These impulses are transmitted down both the lateral and medial vestibulospinal tracts to the spinal cord .

    According to the new research, that number is a whopping 10,281. By comparison, the palm of one’s hand has 17,000 nerve endings — in a much, much larger area. Yet this study on the clitoris ...

  8. 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.
