What is found in a lacuna?
In biology, a lacuna is a small cavity in bone or cartilage that contains a cell. In literature, a lacuna refers to a gap or missing part in a text or manuscript.
Is the yellow bone marrow found in the compact bone?
No, it is found in the hollow cavity inside the bone.
What is the cavity in which an osteocyte occurs?
The small spaces in compact bone tissue that are holes that osteocytes live in are called lacunae (singular: lacuna). The canal that runs through the core of each osteon is the site of blood vessels and nerve fibers; these canals are called canaliculi. The lacuna can sometimes be seen as an empty space with the cell nucleus inside and sometimes the cell nucleus takes up the entire lacuna.
Type of connective tissue that is classified as compact or spongy?
Bone tissue can be either spongey or compact. Compact bone is found on the walls of the shaft of bones while Spongey bone is found at the ends of the bone where joints are made.
What is lacuna bone?
Osteocytes
Is yellow bone marrow found in the compact bone?
No. Yellow bone marrow is found in the hollow cavity inside the bone.
Osteons are found where?
Osteons are found in compact bone tissue, which makes up the outer layer of bones. They are the structural units of compact bone, consisting of concentric layers of bone tissue surrounding a central canal that contains blood vessels and nerves.
Can compact and spongy bone be found within the same long bone?
yes it can
Are lamellae found in spongy bone?
No, Osteon's are found in compact bone.
What type of bone has lacunae in concentric circles around central canals and is found on the wall of the middle prtion of the long bone?
The type of bone you are referring to is compact bone. It contains osteocytes housed in lacunae arranged in concentric circles called lamellae around central canals (Haversian canals). Compact bone is found on the outer wall of the middle portion of long bones.
Which one is found in a compact bone but not in a spongy bone?
Haversian systems (osteons) are found in compact bone but not in spongy bone. These structures consist of concentric layers of bone tissue surrounding a central Haversian canal containing blood vessels and nerves.
What is found in lacunae?
In lacunae, you can find chondrocytes. Chondrocytes are cells that are responsible for maintaining the extracellular matrix of cartilage tissue.
