Solution
The correct option is D Volkmann's canals
The Haversian canal contains small blood vessels responsible for the blood supply to osteocytes (individual bone cells). A Haversian canal and its lamellae and osteocytes form a Haversian system. The lamellae between Haversian system is called as interstitial lamellae. The Haversian canals are interconnected by transverse channels termed as the Volkmann's canals. Haversian systems are absent in spongy bones of mammals.
