And the osteocide is responsible for providing the bone with nutrients that the bone actually needs to survive. So the osteocide is connected to the blood vessels that carry the different types of nutrients, as we'll see in just a moment. So osteocides are the most common types of cells found inside bone and they are responsible for obtaining nutrients from the blood as well as dumping any type of waste products into our blood so that those waste products are recycled. So osteocides contain extensions that are known as processes. So these two purple regions are the osteocides and these blue extensions are our processes. Now these processes radiate outward and eventually they connect with canals.
