What are the little canals that connect areas of bone cells?
The small canals are called as Haversian canal. They contains the minute blood vessels.
Which type of bone cells have processes that lie in canaliculi?
What type of bone cells have processes that lie in the canaliculi
In which connective tissue are the canaliculi located?
the bone
What extends outward through canaliculi?
The Bone
What is the name of the tiny canal that connect bone cells?
Canaliculi
What is it's canaliculi?
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.
Similarities between compact bone and spongy bone?
Osteocytes, osteoclasts, osteoblasts, canaliculi, lamelli
What is the purpose of canaliculi?
Canaliculi are small, microscopic canals between the various lacunae of ossified bone. The radiating processes of the osteocytes project into these canals
Nutrients pass from the blood vessels to the bone cells by way of the?
canaliculi
What are small channels that radiate through the matrix of bone?
CanaliculiCanaliculi
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.
What is a canaliculus of bone cell?
Canaliculi in bones are cytoplasmic processes between bone cells that form between the bone cells (osteocytes) before the extracellular matrix hardens, or ossifies. They're basically extensions of the cytoplasm that connect the cells and allow communication and transfer of nutrients between the cells so they don't die. Anatomically, a canaliculi is any small channel in the body.
