Mechanical force in the cellular environment. Skeletal loading generates deformation of the hard tissue with strain across the cell's substrate, pressure in the intramedullary cavity and within the cortices with transient pressure waves, shear forces through cannaliculi which cause drag over cells, and dynamic electric fields as interstitial fluid flows past charged bone crystals.
