Question

Which of the following is NOT matched correctly?

O hematopoiesis - formation of blood cells
O Sharpey's fibers - holds muscles to bones
O osteocytes - mature bone cells
O Haversian canals - contain blood vessels and nerves

Answer 1

So the correct answer is Option D. Haversian canals do not contain blood vessels only. They also contain nerve fibers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is NOT matched correctly is: Haversian canals contain blood vessels only. The correct statement is that Haversian canals contain both blood vessels and nerve fibers. Haversian canals are the central canals found in compact bone tissue that house the bone's blood vessels and nerve fibers.
