Canaliculi occur, for example, in compact bone, linking lacunae containing bone cells. Bile canaliculi are minute channels within the liver that transport bile to the bile duct.Canaliculus means a small channel, and is applied to the minute passage leading from the lacrimal pore on each eyelid to the lacrimal sac on the side of the nose; any one of the minute canals in bone.A small channel or canal. In bone or cementum, radiating out from lacunae and anastomosing with canaliculi of neighboring lacunae.
