Schematic diagram demonstrating movement of interstitial fluid through the osteocyte lacunocanalicular network from areas of compression to tension as a result of mechanical loading. This fluid flow stimulates intracellular calcium signaling and osteocytic molecular signaling, osteoblast recruitment, and de novo bone formation. (A color version of this figure is available in the online journal.)
