Canaliculi. Their function is to allow nutrients and waste to pass between osteocytes within the bone matrix.
Bile canaliculi act as ducts that collect bile secreted from hepatic cells.
Canaliculi are the narrow passageways that contain cytoplasmic extensions of osteocytes in bone tissue. These canaliculi connect neighboring osteocytes and allow for communication and nutrient exchange between these cells.
Canaliculi
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.
The tiny canals that connect the lacunae are the canaliculi, the larger canals are the Haversian canals.

The main function of a canaliculi is to serve as a passageway between 2 or more organs in the body. These are mostly found in the bones of the human body.
Osseous tissue (bone tissue) has cellular processes extend outward through canaliculi. These canaliculi allow for communication and nutrient exchange between osteocytes, the bone cells housed in lacunae.
