We have recently identified and purified a new NTPDase member that is strongly expressed in the biliary canaliculi of hepatocytes. |
It can be identified in canaliculi, in hepatocytes, and in Kupffer cells. |
Every part of a Haversian system is supplied with nutrient fluids derived from the vessels in the Haversian canal and distributed through the canaliculi and lacunae. |
Under the low pressure of bile secretion, bile flows continuously along converging canaliculi, ductules and ducts. |
By means of these canaliculi, nutrients and waste products are exchanged to maintain the viability of the osteocyte. |
Cytoplasmic processes of the osteocyte extend away from the cell toward other osteocytes in small channels called canaliculi. |
