Very small, sometimes microscopic canals are called as canaliculus. They are usually present in bones.

Tiny canals connecting lacunae?

The tiny canals that connect the lacunae are the canaliculi, the larger canals are the Haversian canals.


Is canaliculi a blood vessel?

No. This term is not used to describe blood vessels. A canaliculus is a passageway like that of the tears in the lacrimal apparatus in the eye.


Which bone contains canaliculi?

canaliculus is a small channel or canal, as in bones, where they connect to lacunae. Lacuna is a small shallow space in the bones in which the osteocytes lie.


What are the little canals that connect areas of bone cells?

The little canals that connect areas of bone cells are called canaliculi. These canaliculi allow for communication and nutrient exchange between adjacent bone cells, known as osteocytes. This network helps maintain bone health and function.

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.


What is inside a canaliculi?

Inside a canaliculus, you would typically find osteocyte cell processes that extend through the bone matrix. Canaliculi provide a pathway for nutrient and waste exchange between osteocytes and the surrounding extracellular fluid to maintain bone health.


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.


What is the canal that connects lacunae to osteocytes?

The canal that connects lacunae to osteocytes is called a canaliculus. Canaliculi are small channels that allow for communication and nutrient exchange between osteocytes located within lacunae in compact bone tissue.
