The connective tissue you are referring to is bone tissue. It has a solid matrix composed of minerals, primarily calcium phosphate, which gives it its hardness. The lamellae (concentric rings) surrounding central canals are characteristic of compact bone, which is the more dense and strong type of bone tissue.
Canada has a network of over 1,600 canals. Many of these canals are part of the historic Rideau Canal system which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The fluid-filled canals that provide balance in the inner ear are called the semicircular canals. These canals detect angular acceleration and help the brain to maintain balance and spatial orientation.
The communicating tubes that connect adjacent Haversian canals are called Volkmann's canals. These canals allow for interconnectivity between neighboring Haversian systems in bone tissue, facilitating the exchange of nutrients and waste products throughout the bone.
