A schematic cross-section depicts a microcrack traversing mineralized bone matrix. Embedded osteocytes with dendritic processes form the lacuno-canalicular network (LCN) within cortical bone tissue of the skeletal system. Brown arrows denote the microdamage path through the extracellular matrix (ECM), a stimulus sensed by osteocytes in bone histology and pathology. Multinucleated osteoclasts at the bone surface initiate resorption, while surface osteoblasts line the matrix, illustrating targeted remodeling by a basic multicellular unit (BMU).
