Which of the following pathways correctly follows the flow of nutrients needed by the osteocytes in compact bone?

A) Osteocytes $\rightarrow$ lacuna $\rightarrow$ blood vessels in central canals $\rightarrow$ diffusion through the canaliculi $\rightarrow$ blood vessels in periosteum & endosteum $\rightarrow$ general circulation
B) Osteocytes $\rightarrow$ lacuna $\rightarrow$ diffusion through the canaliculi $\rightarrow$ blood vessels in central canals $\rightarrow$ blood vessels in periosteum & endosteum $\rightarrow$ general circulation
C) Blood vessels in central canals $\rightarrow$ blood vessels in periosteum & endosteum $\rightarrow$ diffusion through the canaliculi $\rightarrow$ lucane $\rightarrow$ osteocyte
D) Blood vessels in periosteum & endosteum $\rightarrow$ blood vessels in central canals $\rightarrow$ diffusion through the canaliculi $\rightarrow$ lacuna $\rightarrow$ osteocyte
E) Blood vessels in periosteum $\rightarrow$ direct diffusion through the hard, ossified matrix $\rightarrow$ osteocyte
