Osteocytes pass nutrients and wastes back and forth in passageways in the matrix called?
canaliculi
Which structures in the compact bone deliver nutrients to the osteocytes?
Blood vessels running through the Haversian canals...
What Bone cells maintain the mineral content of bone?
These are osteocytes; they are responsible for maintaining the extracellular matrix that forms the bone.
What are mature bone cells called?
skeletal syatem
How is oxygen carried from outside a bone to an individual osteocyte?
Spider-shaped mature bone cells, called OSTEOCYTES, live in small spaces in the lamellae called LACUNAE. Tiny canals, called CANALICULI, connect the lacunae to each other and to the Haversian canal. The canaliculi contain slender, tentacle-like cellular processes of the osteocytes. The canaliculi provide routes through which nutrients and oxygen from the blood can reach the osteocytes and waste products (ammonia, carbon dioxide) can be removed and eventually carried away by blood vessels in theHaversian canals.
Osteocytes pass nutrients and wastes back and forth in passageways in the matrix called?
canaliculi
Which structures allow nutrients to reach the osteocytes from the blood vessels in the central canal?
osteoblast
How is it possible that most osteocytes are far removed from blood vessels but still receive blood- borne nutrients?
each osteocyte is interconnected with other osteocrytes via canaliculi. Canaliculi are tube-like tunnels that transport nutrients to the osteocytes, from the blood vessels
Which structures in the compact bone deliver nutrients to the osteocytes?
Blood vessels running through the Haversian canals...
What are the narrow passageways that contain cytoplasmic extensions of osteocytes?
Canaliculi is the narrow passageways that contain cytoplasmic extensions of osteocytes. Narrow passageways form through the matrix to allow for an exchange of nutrients in the bone.
Do osteocytes mature into osteoblasts?
No, osteocytes don't mature into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts mature into osteocytes.
Do osteocytes lack nuclei?
No. Osteocytes have a nucleus.
What are osteocytes responsible for?
Osteocytes are mature osteoblasts which maintain the bone structure.
What Bone cells maintain the mineral content of bone?
These are osteocytes; they are responsible for maintaining the extracellular matrix that forms the bone.
How does an osteocyte located near a central canal pass nutrients to osteocytes located far from a central canal?
how the f should i know im asking the question too
What are mature bone cells called?
skeletal syatem
Are osteocytes white blood cells?
Osteocytes are bone cells. The prefix osteo- means bone.
