Facets:
Source sentences:
text: (i) transverse filaments in the pericellular matrix that anchor and center the osteocyte process within its canaliculus; (ii) an organic matrix attached to the transverse filaments that fills the entire pericellular space surrounding the osteocyte and its cell processes and that would exert a flow-induced drag force on the transverse filaments; (iii) a cytoskeletal structure within the cell processes to resist hoop tensions and bending deformation; and (iv) transmembrane proteins and other linker molecules that transmit the flow-induced tension in the transverse filaments to the actin cytoskeleton in the cell process.
