What Canal Connects Osteocytes? Haversian canals contain osteocyte processes (canaliculi) connected by gap junctions to other osteocytes, to osteoblasts and to osteogenic cells on the surface via gap junctions, forming a syncytium. What canals connect osteon to osteon? The osteon units of bone are made up of Haversian canals (HC) and Volkmann canals (VC), which

Where Does Intramembranous Ossification Begin? Intramembranous ossification begins in utero during fetal development and continues on into adolescence. At birth, the skull and clavicles are not fully ossified nor are the junctions between the skull bone (sutures) closed. This allows the skull and shoulders to deform during passage through the birth canal. Where does intramembranous
