small canals that connect osteocytes in their lacunae to the central canal are known as ______.
perforating (volkmanns) canals
canaliculi
perforating (sharpeys) fibers
central (haversian) canals

Explanation:

Canaliculi are small canals that connect osteocytes in their lacunae to the central canal. Perforating (Volkmann's) canals connect the central (Haversian) canals. Perforating (Sharpey's) fibers are collagen - rich structures that anchor tendons and ligaments to bone. Central (Haversian) canals are the main canals in compact bone that contain blood vessels and nerves.

Answer:

B. canaliculi
