What tissue has chondrocytes and osteocytes?
Cartilage tissue has chondrocytes, which are responsible for synthesizing and maintaining the extracellular matrix of the cartilage. Bone tissue has osteocytes, which are mature bone cells embedded in the mineralized matrix and play a role in bone remodeling and maintenance.

How many sorts of cartilage are present in the human skeleton?

Does Endochondral ossification occurs when chondrocytes replace osteoblasts in the matrix.?
No, you have it backwards. "Chondro" is the prefix for cartilage while "osteo" is the prefix for bone. Endochondral ossificiation is when the cartilage is replaced by bone, so you would have osteocytes moving into the matrix and replacing the chondrocytes.
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.
What type of cells form cartilage?
