Bone matrix

Canaliculi, the narrowest components of the tunnel system within bone matrix, pass between adjacent osteocyte lacunae. Osteocytes located in the lacunae extend numerous, fine cell processes into the canaliculi that interconnect via gap junctions with processes of adjacent cells. This system provides for the transfer of nutrients and wastes between osteocytes as well as with the Haversian blood vessels. Canaliculi are not lined by endosteum. Ground, compact bone, 1000x
