Comparison of fluid flow within the LCN porosity between a physiologically loaded and a disused tibia: (a) axially loaded tibia, (b) schematic of the osteocyte network at a cross-section of interest (black-filled circles represent cortical canals), (c) fluid flow within the LCS of a physiologically loaded tibia (indicated by arrows showing fluid movement), and (d) absence of fluid flow within the LCS in the case of bone disuse.
