Question

Group of answer choices

Collagen fibers

Trabeculae

Canaliculi

Perforating fibers

Answer 1

The structure involved in the distribution of nutrients through compact bone tissue is canaliculi.

Canaliculi are tiny channels that connect the lacunae (small spaces where bone cells reside) to each other and to the haversian (central) canals, allowing for the transport of nutrients, waste products, and communication between osteocytes.
