A simplified histology illustration depicts an osteocyte, a mature bone cell, showing a central nucleus and dendritic processes. In biological hierarchy, it is a cell within calcified bone tissue of the skeletal system. The osteocyte resides in a lacuna and extends processes through canaliculi, forming the LCN (lacuno-canalicular network) within the ECM (extracellular matrix). In anatomy and physiology, this cell functions as a mechanosensor that regulates bone remodeling and mineral homeostasis by signaling to osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
