Canaliculi are tiny channels in bone tissue that allow for the exchange of nutrients and waste between osteocytes (bone cells) and blood vessels. They help maintain the health and function of bone by facilitating communication and transport within the bone tissue.
The canaliculi are the tiny canals.
Bile canaliculi act as ducts that collect bile secreted from hepatic cells.
What type of bone cells have processes that lie in the canaliculi
The small canals are called as Haversian canal. They contains the minute blood vessels.
Canaliculi
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.
The Haversian Canal is connected to the lacunae by a system of interconnecting canals called the canaliculi.
The tiny canals that connect the lacunae are the canaliculi, the larger canals are the Haversian canals.
Canaliculi are small, microscopic canals between the various lacunae of ossified bone. The radiating processes of the osteocytes project into these canals
