Bone cells, particularly osteocytes, have long, branching extensions called dendritic processes that allow them to communicate with other bone cells and sense mechanical stress. This star-like shape helps them to maintain bone tissue by facilitating nutrient exchange and signaling for bone remodeling. The interconnected network formed by these processes enables efficient coordination in response to physical forces, ensuring the bone adapts to changes in load and stress effectively.
