Nutrient arteries are the most apparent blood vessels of the bones. All bones possess larger or smaller foramina for the entrance of the nourishing blood-vessels; these are known as the nutrient foramina, and are particularly large in the shafts of the larger long bones, where they lead into a nutrient canal, which extends into the medullary cavity ( bone marrow cavity ) [1] References{{Gray's}}{{Sobotta's}}1. ^http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=ien.35558004773491;view=1up;seq=16 External links
