The canaliculi are the tiny canals.

Lacunae
The tiny canals that connect the lacunae are the canaliculi, the larger canals are the Haversian canals.
cytoplasmic extensions
The Haversian Canal is connected to the lacunae by a system of interconnecting canals called the canaliculi.
The lacunae is the space that holds the cartilage in the bones of the human body. This allows us to move, walk, run, and jump without feeling pain of the bones hitting each other.
lacunae
In bone the cells that occupy the lacunae are osteocytes.
When chondrocytes in lacunae divide and form new matrix, it leads to an expansion of the cartilage tissue from within. What is this process called?
Osteocytes
Mature bone cells within the matrix are called osteocytes.
