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.

How do fetuses get nutrients from their mothers?

Fetuses receive nutrients from their mothers through the placenta, which forms a connection between the mother's bloodstream and the fetus. The mother's blood carries oxygen and nutrients, such as glucose and amino acids, which are then transferred across the placenta to the fetus. Waste products from the fetus, like carbon dioxide, are also removed through the placenta into the mother's bloodstream for excretion.

What causes nutrients in the top soil to be removed?

Soil erosion, leaching, and over-farming can cause nutrients in the topsoil to be removed. Erosion by water or wind can wash away topsoil along with the nutrients it contains. Leaching occurs when water moves nutrients downwards through the soil profile beyond the reach of plant roots. Over-farming without proper nutrient replenishment can deplete the soil of essential nutrients over time.
