Transport of Nutrients in Bones
Copyright policy )Transport of Nutrients in Bones
Summary: Lacunar-canalicular systems are networks of pores (lacunae) interconnected by thin channels (canaliculi) that are embedded in bones. The efficient transport of nutrients within lacunar-canalicular systems is necessary to keep bones healthy. Several theories have been proposed to identify the physical phenomena responsible for this efficient transport. In this paper, we develop and study a mathematical model motivated by one of those theories.
