Answer : a
Hints & Solutions
(a) Haversian canals are a characteristic feature of the mammalian bones present in the matrix of bones. They are present in the humerus bone. Haversian canals are microscopic tubes or tunnels in cortical bone that house nerve fibers and a few capillaries. This allows bone to get oxygen and nutrition without being highly vascular. These canals also communicate with bone cells using special connections, or canaliculi.
