A schematic histology illustration depicts bone tissue with osteocytes (stellate cells) embedded in mineralized ECM (extracellular matrix) beneath a superficial layer of flattened osteoblasts lining the bone surface. In biological hierarchy, these cells reside within osseous tissue of the skeletal system. Within anatomy and physiology, the image highlights the role of osteocytes as mechanosensors that regulate bone remodeling by signaling to osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Osteocytes are shown in lacunae with short canalicular processes, whereas osteoblasts form a continuous lining at the periosteal or endosteal surface.
