Bone canaliculi are microscopic canals between the lacunae of ossified bone. The radiating processes of the osteocytes (called filopodia) project into these canals. These cytoplasmic …

The basic unit of structure in adult compact bone, consisting of a central (haversian) canal with it's concertrically arranged lamellae, lacunae, osteocytes, and canaliculi. Also called haversian …

Cytoplasmic processes of the osteocyte extend away from the cell toward other osteocytes in small channels called canaliculi. By means of these canaliculi, nutrients and waste products …

Osteocytes are connected to one another within the canaliculi via gap junctions. If osteoblasts and osteocytes are incapable of mitosis, then how are they replenished when old ones die? The …

2023年5月1日 · Osteocytes compose an extensive connecting syncytial network with small dendritic, or cytoplasmic, processes taking place in canaliculi. Osteocytes have expanded …

Osteocytes and their dendritic cytoplasmic processes lie within lacunae and canaliculi. Osteocytes differentiate from osteoblasts lying on the bone surface.

Osteocytes are simply osteoblasts trapped in the matrix that they secrete. They are networked to each other via long cytoplasmic extensions that occupy tiny canals called canaliculi, which are …

Given the enormous surface area of the osteocyte lacuna-canalicular network (LCN), PLR is important for maintaining homeostasis of the skeleton. The goal of this review is to examine …

Osteocytes appear as stellate-shaped that reside in small cavities within the bone matrix termed lacunae and extend their long cytoplasmic projections through narrow canals called canaliculi …

2016年3月1日 · We detected cylindrical low mineral density regions spreading around canaliculi derived from a subset of osteocytes. Transmission electron microscopy revealed both intact …
