Detailed explanation-1: -Canaliculi. Tiny canals, canaliculi, radiate outward from the central canals to all lacunae; the canaliculi form a transportation system that connects all the bone cells to the nutrient supply through the hard bone matrix.
Detailed explanation-2: -Canaliculi, connecting lacunae, and. Perforating (or Volkmann’s) canals, transversely connecting central canals, and. Lamellae (singular: lamella), the concentric layers of bone between lacunae.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bone canaliculi are small canals running through the bone solid matrix, hosting osteocyte’s dendrites, and saturated by an interstitial fluid rich in ions. Because of the small size of these canals (few hundred nanometers in diameter), fluid flow is coupled with electrochemical phenomena.
