| dentinal canals | Minute, wavy, branching tubes or canals in the dentin; they contain the long cytoplasmic processes of odontoblasts and extend radially from the pulp to the dentoenamel junction. Synonym: dental tubules, dentinal canals, dentinal tubules, tubuli dentales. (05 Mar 2000) |

| diploic canals | Channels in the diploe that accommodate the diploic veins. Synonym: canales diploici, Breschet's canals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interdental canals | Canal's that extend vertically through alveolar bone between roots of mandibular and maxillary incisor and maxillary bicuspid teeth. Synonym: Hirschfeld's canals. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Kursteiner's canals | A foetal complex of vesicular, canalicular, and glandlike structures derived from parathyroid, thymus, or thymic cord; they are rudimentary and functionless unless persistent postnatally, when they may occur as cystic structures in the vicinity of parathyroid III and thymus III. Kursteiner described three types, type II canal's being associated with thyroaplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral saemicircular canals | The three bony tubes in the labyrinth of the ear within which the membranous saemicircular ducts are located; they lie in planes at right angles to each other and are known as anterior saemicircular canal, posterior saemicircular canal, and lateral saemicircular canal. Synonym: canales saemicirculares ossei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Leeuwenhoek's canals | <anatomy> The small Vascular canal's that run longitudinally in the centre of haversian systems of compact osseous tissue, through which the blood vessels ramify in bone. Synonym: Leeuwenhoek's canals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| limbs of bony saemicircular canals | The extremities of the bony saemicircular canals in which the corresponding membranous limbs of the saemicircular ducts are located; they are the common bony crus, simple bony crus, and ampullary bony crus. Synonym: crura ossea canalium saemicircularium, limbs of bony saemicircular canals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal canals of modiolus | Centrally placed channels that convey vessels and nerves to the apical turns of the cochlea. Synonym: canales longitudinales modioli, central canals of cochlea. (05 Mar 2000) |
