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.

Materials that are carried to the cells of the body?
Nutrients and oxygen are carried to the cells of the body by the bloodstream. Nutrients are mostly transported by the circulatory system after being absorbed from the digestive system, while oxygen is carried by red blood cells through the process of respiration.
How oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood?
Oxygen is carried by hemoglobin in red blood cells, forming oxyhemoglobin. Carbon dioxide is carried in the blood mainly in the form of bicarbonate ions, but also as carbaminohemoglobin and dissolved CO2. These gases are exchanged between the blood and tissues in the lungs and other tissues in the body.
What route is taken by nutrients through a bone starting with periosteum and ending with an osteocyte in a lacuna?
The circulatory system brings blood containing nutrients and oxygen to the periosteum, which covers the bone. The periosteum is a thin membrane that contains nerves and blood vessels. Its main function is to provide nourishment to the bone. From the periosteum, nutrients and oxybgen go through the perforating canals to the central canal, and then to the canaliculi. The osteocyte nearest the central canal passes nutrients to the next osteocyte with arm-like extensions that extend into the canaliculi to the next osteocyte. At the terminal end of each extension, gap junctions connect the cytoplasm of each osteocyte so that nutrients/wastes can be passed between cells to/from the central canal.
2 ways oxygen is carried in the blood?
Oxygen binds (oxygenation) to metalloproteins (like hemoglobin in mammals) in erythrocytes (red blood cells). When the oxygenated metalloprotein reaches a tissue, the environment (low pH, high CO2 partial pressure, etc.) triggers the O2 unloading and CO2 loading. The O2 is then taken up into the tissue.
How oxygen gets from outside of your bodies to every cell in your body?
It binds to hemoglobin within your red blood cells and is carried by the arteries to the tissues in your body.

What is the maximum o2 that can be carried in arterial blood?
The maximum amount of oxygen that can be carried in arterial blood is approximately 20.2 mmol/L. This is equivalent to about 98.5% of the oxygen that is dissolved in the plasma. The remaining 1.5% is bound to hemoglobin and is termed oxyhemoglobin. The amount of oxygen that can be carried by the blood is dependent on the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood as well as the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment which is why the amount of oxygen that can be carried varies in different environments. The following factors affect the amount of oxygen that can be carried in arterial blood: Hemoglobin concentration Oxygen saturation of hemoglobin Partial pressure of oxygen in the environmentHemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and carries it throughout the body. The concentration of hemoglobin in the blood is an important factor in determining how much oxygen can be carried. The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment. This means that the amount of oxygen that can be carried in the blood varies in different environments. For example in a high-altitude environment where the partial pressure of oxygen is lower the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is also lower resulting in less oxygen being carried in the blood.
What is the form that oxygen is carried in blood?
Oxygen is carried in the blood primarily in the form of oxyhemoglobin, where oxygen is bound to hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells. This allows for efficient transport of oxygen from the lungs to body tissues.
