The central canal of an osteon, also known as the Haversian canal, contains blood vessels and nerves. This canal runs parallel to the length of the bone and is essential for supplying nutrients and oxygen to the bone tissue, as well as facilitating the removal of waste products. Surrounding the central canal are concentric layers of mineralized matrix called lamellae, which provide structural support to the bone.
