**Run longitudinally through the bone
 
**Carry anastamosing and branching blood vessels, connecting with bone marrow cavity and periosteum
 
**Surrounded by concentric bony '''lamellae'''
 
***Rows of interconnected lacunae within, contain '''osteocytes''' (communicate by channels in young bones)
 
*'''Haversion canals + lamellae + osteocytes = Haversion system'''
