← Human Body & HealthWhich outcome results when bone's canaliculi are blocked?
A)Reduced osteocyte nutrient delivery✓
B)Increased bone fracture toughness
C)Elevated chondrocyte differentiation rate
D)Enhanced collagen fibril alignment
💡 Explanation
Reduced osteocyte activity results when canaliculi are blocked because this prevents nutrient exchange via diffusion; therefore, nutrient delivery decreases, rather than other structural or cellular bone remodeling process improvements.
