Solution
The correct option is A Humerus
Haversian canal occurs in the humerus. Haversian canals are a series of tubes around narrow channels formed by lamellae. This is the region of bone, called cortical bone. Osteons are arranged in parallel to the long axis of the bone. The Haversian canals surround blood vessels and nerve cells throughout the bone and communicate with osteocytes in lacunae through canaliculi. This unique arrangement is conducive to mineral salt deposits and storage, which gives the bone tissue its strength.
