In bone the cells that occupy the lacunae are osteocytes.
Mature bone cells within the matrix are called osteocytes.

Mature bone cells within the matrix are called osteocytes.
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.

Chondrocytes in the lacunae divide and secrete matrix, allowing the cartilage to grow from within.
