Catilage
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?
Osseous tissue
lacunae
Lacunae
In bone the cells that occupy the lacunae are osteocytes.
Bone tissue is classified into compact bone and spongy bone. The compact bone basic unit is the osteon, or Haversian System. There are no osteons in spongy bone, but it is composed of lamellae, osteocytes, lacunae and canaliculi.
Bone cells surround Haversian canals. Osteon (Haversian system) is the structural unity of bone. Spaces for osteocytes are called lacunae. The matrix is present in concentric rings called lamellae. Canaliculi are canals that join lacunae with the central Haversian canal (central canal)
