lacunae
Osteocytes and lacunae are found in the mineralized extracellular matrix of bone tissue, not within a specific bone. Osteocytes are the primary cells of mature bone, residing within small cavities called lacunae.
Lacunae
Mature bone cells are called osteocytes. These cells are responsible for maintaining bone tissue and regulating mineral content.
In lacunae, you can find chondrocytes. Chondrocytes are cells that are responsible for maintaining the extracellular matrix of cartilage tissue.
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)
Bone cells found in the lacunae within the matrix are called osteocytes. They are responsible for maintaining the bone structure and communicating with other bone cells to regulate bone remodeling and repair.
Lacunae
Osteocytes and lacunae are found in the mineralized extracellular matrix of bone tissue, not within a specific bone. Osteocytes are the primary cells of mature bone, residing within small cavities called lacunae.
Between layers of concentric lamellae, which are found in bone tissue, there are small spaces called lacunae. These lacunae contain osteocytes, the mature bone cells that maintain the bone matrix. Additionally, tiny channels called canaliculi connect the lacunae, allowing for communication and nutrient exchange between osteocytes and the blood supply in the bone.
The bone cells are contained within small spaces called lacunae, which are located within the mineralized matrix of the bone tissue. These lacunae are connected to each other by tiny channels called canaliculi, allowing for communication and nutrient exchange between the bone cells.
The lacunae of osseous tissue contain osteocytes, which are mature bone cells that maintain the bone tissue. These cells are embedded within the mineralized matrix of the bone and are connected to each other and to the blood supply through tiny channels called canaliculi. Osteocytes play a key role in bone remodeling and responding to mechanical stresses placed on the bone.

Cells in lacunae allow for the exchange of nutrients and waste products with the surrounding extracellular matrix. They also help maintain tissue structure and function by secreting and maintaining the matrix components.
