The Central Canal is the Site of ________

Question

The central canal is the site of ________.
A) cartilage
B) blood vessels and nerves
C) yellow and red marrow
D) osteoclasts and osteoblasts

Accepted Answer

The central canal of bone contains blood vessels and nerves that supply nutrients to bone cells and help regulate bone growth and remodeling. Cartilage is not typically found in adult bone tissue, yellow and red marrow are found in the medullary cavity (not the central canal), and osteoclasts and osteoblasts are cells involved in bone remodeling that are found throughout bone tissue (not specifically in the central canal).
